The Soviet mourner, the best supporting actor to help the United States win the Cold War, the promoter of shock therapy, nobel peace prize laureate Gorbachev finally went into shock.
Some people say that Gorbachev ended the Cold War and maintained world peace.
Some say that Gorbachev destroyed the Soviet Union and left the United States to dominate the world.
Some people say that Gorbachev passed away and left the turmoil to the world.
Some people say that Gorbachev spent the rest of his life in a dashing and full of money.
Today we will not talk about Gorbachev's achievements, but about his dashing life after retirement.
On December 25, 1991, Gorbachev, as the last president of the Soviet Union, announced the "collapse of the Soviet Union."
What is unexpected is that he relied on the IP of "the collapse of the Soviet Union" for the rest of his life, ate wave after wave of dividends, and earned one endorsement fee after another.
At Yeltsin's request, the retired Gorbachev could receive a pension of 4,000 rubles a month from the Kremlin, in addition to guards and cooks waiting for his family, and it was reasonable to eat and drink.
Unexpectedly, russia's economy collapsed rapidly under the treatment of "shock therapy", Russia's inflation was severe, and the ruble began to depreciate sharply.
By 1994, Gorbachev's pension of 4,000 rubles was worth almost $10, and the people of the whole country were tightening their belts to live, and Yeltsin naturally had no time to take care of his living standards as a former dynasty widow.
Gorbachev began to complain to the media, accusing him of being treated so badly that Yeltsin wanted to starve his "hero" to death.
But Yeltsin still doesn't bird him, who are you, I'm not familiar with you.
Helpless Gorbachev, in order to make a living, began to think about the way to make money, how to say that he is also a celebrity, somewhat still a bit of residual heat.
Celebrities, retirements, the collapse of the Soviet Union, isn't that all traffic?
The brain-opening Gorbachev began to write an autobiography, and as a former president of the Soviet Union, the fierce material and gossip stories in his hands were naturally attractive enough.
A memoir, Truth and Confessions, brought him millions of dollars in royalties.
That's millions of dollar knives, not rubles that are too hard to wipe your ass.
Gorbachev, who was the president of a superpower, naturally did not take this money seriously, but it was enough to improve the current embarrassment of life.
Money is really a good thing, and Gorbachev has a new pursuit of life - to make money.
Since then, Gorbachev, who has opened his own tricks, has begun his own road to gold.
Gorbachev began to give lectures all over the world, relying on the heat of his retirement to get 50,000-100,000 US dollars per game, and after the heat fell in the next few years, he also had 10,000 US dollars per game.
In addition, he also endorsed fast food and luxury goods to his ideological enemies of the year.
In 1997, Gorbachev took his granddaughter to shoot an advertisement for Pizza Hut for $160,000.
You see, having pizza to eat can also make money, cost-effective!
In 2004, he became the global face of the luxury brand LV, in which Gorbachev sat in a Soviet-style sedan with a TRAVEL BAG OF LV next to him.
He looked out the window at the Berlin Wall full of historical traces as if to tell the world: Grandpa wants to be outside the wall just outside the wall.
It is said that this script was written by Lao Ge himself.
This is not the end, it may be that filming advertising has a drama addiction, Gorbachev also ran to become an actor.
In many films, he played his "own", the former "president of the Soviet Union".
He is also known as the narrowest actor in the world.
As for the content of the performance, it is to announce the "collapse of the Soviet Union" in the movie over and over again.
It is reasonable to say that this humiliating moment of apologizing to the revolutionary ancestors and the Soviet people was too late to hide, but he became addicted.
But we do not see that Gorbachev has a little sense of shame, but a sense of pleasure in getting what he wants.
Yes, he enjoyed the thrill of destroying the Soviet Union with his own hands!
Some people say that after so many years, Gorbachev did not regret destroying the Soviet Union?
Take a look at Gorbachev's public remarks:
"The common good of humanity and universal human values come first, above any national interest, class interest, corporate interest and other interests."
That was his tone, and the Soviet Union had little national interest in his eyes.
The tune is sung higher than the president of the United States, standing on the benchmark of the common interests of all mankind, you ask him if he has any remorse?
No kidding, will he have remorse and announce the "collapse of the Soviet Union" in the movie over and over again?
His mind was spent on asking for pensions and earning endorsement fees on IP such as "the collapse of the Soviet Union" and "the last president of the Soviet Union".
For Gorbachev, whether he was on his knees or standing to make money, there was no shame.
This is the rest of Gorbachev's 30 years of retirement, and it is really delicious and happy.
The overthrow of the Soviet Union was not a matter for him for a long time.
He told us with his own actions that only with a wide heart can we live a long life.
