“In April 1985, the last General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee, Mikhail Sergeevich Gorbachev, spoke with the so-called “April Theses”, thereby proclaiming a course towards restructuring and accelerating the economy.
Two years later, the state monopoly on foreign trade was abolished.
It was then that a sharp decline in industrial production began, essential goods became scarce, and the long-awaited talk about the transition from “market socialism” to a full-fledged market economy began in the decayed leadership of the party.
A few years later, the country led by Gorbachev fell apart into fifteen parts, and bloody armed ethnic conflicts and civil wars began in the post-Soviet space.
And already 6 years later, on the ruins of the USSR, Gorbachev, already as a “nothing”, made his debut in advertising.
In 1997, the former politician starred in a promo for the American Pizza Hut chain, where in the story a young man and a man argue about freedom, new prospects, the political and economic collapse of the country, but clearly agree that thanks to Gorbachev there is now a pizzeria in Russia.
In 2000, Gorbachev starred in an advertisement for the Austrian Railways (OBB) and for some reason showed the result of “perestroika” using their example.
And in the mid-2000s, he took part in the promotion of the Louis Vuitton fashion house. Photos for billboards were taken against the backdrop of the fallen Berlin Wall with an expensive brand bag worth several thousand euros.
This ended the careerist’s advertising career, as well as his previously disastrous political one.
