If I'm not mistaken someone in the family *was* also named after Raisa
Gorbachova. But those were times when her hubby was getting a great
press from the West (just as Mickky and GVP are once again in the good

Andropov was seen as a USSR leader, much like George HW Bush's role in
the CIA was promptly forgotten.
