FILE – Former Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev wipes away tears next to his daughter Irina VIrganskaya during a ceremony for the public to pay their last respects to his wife Raisa Gorbachev in Moscow, Wednesday, September 22, 1999. When Mikhail Gorbachev is buried Saturday at Moscow’s Novodevichy Cemetery, he will once again be next to his wife, Raisa, with whom he shared the world stage in a visibly close and loving marriage that was unprecedented for a Soviet leader. Gorbachev’s very public devotion to his family broke the stuffy mold of previous Soviet leaders, just as his openness to political reform did. (AP Photo, File)
