Gorbachev's advertisement for Western catering brand Pizza Hut has become a hot topic on social media Twitter. At the opening of the 1997 advertisement, Gorbachev took a little girl into a Pizza House restaurant in Moscow, which immediately attracted the attention of other customers in the restaurant, and also aroused a pair of suspected father and son.

Just when the two were arguing, a word of a woman was recognized by the father and son: "Because of him, we have a lot of things, such as Pizza Hut." Finally, the customers of the restaurant raised Pisa and shouted "Gorba to Gorba. "Joey's tribute", the picture ended. The British "Independence" said on the 31st that the advertisement was widely spread in the West and was considered a sign of capitalism to defeat communism, but it has not been played in Russia.

According to the United States "News Weekly", many people posted the advertisement of Pizza Hut on Twitter on the 30th, indicating the lasting impact of the advertisement on Western consumers. During the reign of Gorbachev, he actively promoted the famous Western brands into the Soviet Union. After the outbreak of Russia and Ukraine this year, Pizza Hut and other Western companies suspended their business in Russia. The title of the US "Business Insider" website specifically pointed out that the cost of shooting of this Pizza Hut advertisement reached millions of dollars, of which a considerable part of it was spent to pay Gorbachev. The report emphasized that Gorbachev at the time "needed money very much."

The "Independence" stated that after stepped down, "Gorbachev, as the spokesperson for Western brands, enjoyed an unusual second performance."
