There is perhaps no more telling example of how differently Mikhail Gorbachev is viewed in the West and in Russia than his role in a 1998 television commercial for Pizza Hut.

The Soviet economy, already teetering, was flung into deep turmoil, eventually causing the union to break apart. Moscow’s place as a major world power was severely diminished.

His twin policies of glasnost and perestroika , heralded a major about-face from decades of repressive Soviet rule in which citizens were uniformly told everything was going great when they could clearly see they were not.
