Mikhail Gorbachev funeral: Hundreds pay respects to last Soviet leader


Hundreds of people have paid their respects at the funeral of the last Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev in Moscow.

Russia’s President Vladimir Putin cited a busy "work schedule" as a reason for him missing the event at the House of Unions on Saturday.

Liberal politician Grigory Yavlinsky said: "These people have come to Gorbachev to thank him, to say ‘Thank you Mr Gorbachev, you gave us a chance.’"
