FILE - Soviet President Mikhail S. Gorbachev (l) and his wife Raisa wave to well wishers when strolling through market place in downtown Stuttgart, Wednesday, June 14, 1989. In background is the New Castle where Gorbachev had talks with representatives of West German state Baden-Wurttemberg. When Mikhail Gorbachev is buried Saturday at Moscow's Novodevichy Cemetery, he will once again be next to his wife, Raisa, with whom he shared the world stage in a visibly close and loving marriage that was unprecedented for a Soviet leader. Gorbachev's very public devotion to his family broke the stuffy mold of previous Soviet leaders, just as his openness to political reform did. (AP Photo/Arne Dedert, File)
