The American fast food company, Pizza Hut famously released an advert in 1998 featuring Mikhail Gorbachev, the former leader of the Soviet Union.
The appearance in the advert, inconceivable just ten years earlier, was seen by some as a symbolic moment in Russia's move from communism to a market economy.
Tom Darbyshire, a writer on the famous advert told Newshour's Razia Iqbal why and how they got Gorbachev involved.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel
"Who is Mikhail Gorbachev?
Mikhail Gorbachev Rode the Wave of History. Putin Is Swimming Against It. Mikhail Gorbachev took the Soviet Union in a new direction during his presidency, one that Putin later called a genuine tragedy."
