Mikhail Sergeevich goes home
The last President of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev, was born into a peasant family in the village of Privolnoye near Stavropol. Gorbachev studied law at Moscow University, where he met his future wife, Raisa. They married in September 1953 and moved to Gorbachev's home region of Stavropol in southern Russia when he graduated in 1955. Politics came later. In this excerpt from a fine documentary by Russian film maker Vitaly Mansky, Gorbachev returns to the family home at Easter, embraces an ancient aunt, visits his former high school and, finally, movingly, recalls Raisa's final days.
