Mikhail Gorbachev is a Russian who was the last leader of the Soviet Union. As such, he was often sought out for interviews from the press.
Ronald Reagan, former President of the US, is famous for saying, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this Wall!"
At some point prior to 2007, Gorbachev met with reporter Josh Lemle during his career. Lemle discussed this with his friend Mike Logan when they were investigating Lemle's poisoning with Polonium. (CI: 30)
