Pizza Hut “Gorbachev” [01:00]# Gorbachev and a little girl (possibly his grand-daughter since she’s dressed like Raisa) enter a Pizza Hut Restaurant in Moscow and immediately trigger a heated discussion with a family sitting nearby about the former president’s merits and failings. (He is made responsible for “complete chaos” as well as for bringing hope and freedom.) In the end it is agreed that because of Gorbachev, Russians now have many things – like “Pizza Hut.” The spot ends on the patrons standing up and hailing the elder statesman.
