Gorbachev, Raisa

Gorbachev, Raisa
▪ 2000
Raisa Maksimovna Titorenko 
      Russian academic and de facto first lady of the Soviet Union who rejected the virtual invisibility of her predecessors and came to embody many of the social and political changes wrought by her husband, Pres. Mikhail Gorbachev; her elegant style, outspoken intellectualism, and high-profile presence at her husband's side made her popular abroad but often drew criticism at home (b. Jan. 5, 1932, Rubtsovsk, Siberia, U.S.S.R.—d. Sept. 20, 1999, Münster, Ger.).
