From context you seem to mistaken him for Gorbachev?
That’s Jaruzelski though, and his fault is that he did not shoot the counterrevolution.
Declaration of martial law was a good move though, it helped preserve socialism in Europe for a few years more, since solidarnosc riots was sponsored by USA to check the Brezhniev doctrine, and martial law made this bid fail, so they needed to wait for perestroika.

I’m dumbass, I thought it’s Gorbachev, thanks for the info
No problem, Jaruzelski is pretty obscure character outside of Poland.
Why doesn’t more people know for him?
