The last president of the Soviet Union did it for the same reason anyone would: ca$h money!!
Every so often, an old Pizza Hut ad. This time is no different: Mikhail Gorbachev — yes, that Gorbachev, a.k.a. the last leader of the Soviet Union before its collapse in 1991 — arrives at a Moscow Pizza Hut with his granddaughter. Diners gawk at their former premier, before wide-eyed surprise devolves into an argument. “Because of him, we have economic confusion!” an older man exclaims.
Back and forth they bicker — Gorbachev brought political instability! Freedom! Complete chaos! Hope! — until the grandmother of the table steps in: “Because of him we have many things like Pizza Hut!” The older man, conceding, raises his pizza slice and leads the restaurant in a toast to the former premier: “Hail to Gorbachev!” Pizza Hut, at least, is something they can all agree on.
The irony of the former head of the Soviet Union shilling for a greasy symbol of American and global consumerism is not lost on anyone. Evidently, Gorbachev did it for the same reason that any person would: ca$h money!!! Gorbachev
