I haven’t done much research on him outside of listening to the Black Album because that’s just such good shit, and I do despise Gorbachev for what he did more than anything, It’s hard to tell anything when there’s not much anti-Soviet sources on him.
It’s also a little hard since he died before the USSR actually collapsed (age 28, 1990). Maybe he would’ve matured, maybe not. But it’s not like he was an explicit hardcore reactionary. For instance, some of his album covers were based on the early soviet Avant-garde.
The communist band Silenzium strings has done some covers of his songs though, including one of his most fanous songs, Pereman [translated as “change” which is a common Easter Europe protest song nowadays]

Yeah I’ve listened to a lot of the covers, my favorite album is still the Posthumous release one from 91’, so many good tunes on there.
