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.
That viewpoint is held by no one more than Russia’s current president, Vladimir Putin, who has often called the end of the Soviet Union the “greatest geopolitical catastrophe” of the 20th century. But for Russians, the fallout was far more negative. Moscow’s imperial hold over Eastern Europe swiftly melted away. 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. Following Gorbachev’s ouster, Russia entered a lengthy period of economic and political weakness, during which powerful oligarchs and criminal forces took control of much of the country as it rapidly moved away from Communism.
