Gorbachev did stuff like this too. My dad worked in Dupont circle in DC in the late 80s and once the Russian motorcade was driving by as he was walking home from work. They suddenly stopped and there wasnt anyone else nearby so he started getting worried but then a car door opens and Gorbachev gets out with a big smile and just talks to him for like 5 minutes about life and sports and normal small talk things. Said he liked to get to know regular citizens. Then he got back in his imported car and just drove off
Fanfic of your dad inviting Gorbachev out for a quick American bite and introducing him to Pizza Hut.
OP’s dad caused the collapse of the USSR.
Plot twist: it's a time traveler, and they shoot Gorby in 1988.
