Re: Mikhail Gorbachev ‘blamed Dallas for bringing down communism in the Soviet Union’

Nothing scientific, but I can validate the sentiment expressed by Gorbachev and Stewart. I was part of a tour group that visited St Petersburg and Moscow for a week in 1985. As soon as folks found out I was from Dallas they were asking me if I knew the characters and if it was all true. They were obsessed with the "royalty" of the self-made Ewings. I was kind and did my best to explain it was exaggerated, but after 60 years of rationing and government control of everything the Soviet citizens were excited by the show.
