The man who destroyed the Soviet Union became the face of Louis Vuitton.

While pensioners in Russia were surviving on $50 a month, Gorbachev was being photographed in a luxury limousine for a Western fashion brand.

The ad was shot next to what remained of the Berlin Wall, the symbol of Soviet collapse.
Louis Vuitton paid him handsomely for the privilege.

This is the same man who received the Nobel Peace Prize for dissolving a superpower, plunging 290 million people into economic chaos, and creating a system to hand over state assets to oligarchs.
