Observer: Gorby's baggage
Published: October 30 2007 02:00
Mikhail Gorbachev, the Soviet leader turned early capitalist icon, has moved upmarket. More than a decade after he famously advertised Pizza Hut on television, he is now co-starring in glossy magazines with Louis Vuitton, sharing a car with one of the luxury goods maker's bags.
But alongside the obvious commercial rationale, and a plug to Green Cross International, his eco-friendly charity, to boot, is there a more subtle political motive in his latest photo shoot?
Gorbachev gazes with melancholy towards a surviving fragment of the Berlin Wall and grips the door handle as though he might need to get out in a hurry. Astute Russian-speaking observers who turn the image upside down will notice a rather intriguing document lying on top of his luxury bag.
The man who has publicly praised President Vladimir Putin appears to have packed some seditious literature. A magazine headline flags up the brutal, unsolved murders of both Anna Politkovskaya and Alexander Litvinenko.
Речь собсс-но о том, что в рекламе дорожных сумок Louis Vuitton у Горбачева лежит журнальчик, на котором, если верить FT, красуются заголовки о нераскрытых убийствах Анны Политковской и Александра Литвиненко.
