Mikhail Gorbachev Pizza Hut commercial

Common card · No. 332270

Mikhail Gorbachev, the last leader of the Soviet Union, was featured in a 1998 television advertisement for Pizza Hut. It was filmed in November 1997 on Red Square and in a Pizza Hut restaurant elsewhere in Moscow. It was aired internationally in January 1998, but not in Russia. In the commercial, a family inside the Pizza Hut restaurant discusses Gorbachev's political legacy. The younger man and the older man loudly argue, until the older lady says that Gorbachev gave them Pizza Hut. The commercial has been described as illustrative of the victory of capitalism inside the former Soviet Union.
