I presumed this was a drag actor or something called Olivia Neutron Bomb. I thought everyone knew the original was Australian!
So that was a bit of a surprise when I opened the link...
That's what she was called in my house. Perhaps my dad just made it up.

Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.

Mikhail Gorbachev, possibly the only non-psychotic Russian leader of the last couple of hundred years, aged 91.
He caused havoc in Russia that persists to this day, but it was the greed and/or stupidity of other people that are at fault, not Gorbachev.
I was lucky enough to visit Russia on a school tour in 1990, just before the collapse. It was an amazing country but socially it was exactly as it was portrayed in the media -- authoritarianism, drunks wandering the streets, queues for empty shops, rotten teeth, chancers everywhere, the whole shooting match. I'm not sure I'll ever get back, to see a "new Russia", which is very, very sad.

It's interesting for you to have seen the USSR in 1990. I think (predictably ) that things went a little far in the media yesterday, blue checks on Twitter lauding him for being a great man. Then Russian females of the era started talking about the half million of them basically sold into sex slavery under his rule. I keep seeing "He ended the cold war." Eh...those clowns completely ran out of money and had nothing to pay the KBG or Red Army officials and knew they would be getting a knock on the door soon. Many knocks. Doing the right thing had nothing to do with it. It did bring up some funny stories about Yelstin though, particularly the press conference where he is drunk and Clinton is trying to cover for him by laughing uproariously.
