Gorbachev Myanmar Forehead Map

Text on the meme

When I was a kid my mom told me that Gorbachev had the map of Myanmar on his forehead because he loved us so much

What it means

A portrait of Mikhail Gorbachev is shown beside a map of Myanmar, whose shape is humorously compared to the mark on his forehead. The joke is an absurd childhood explanation for Gorbachev’s birthmark, framed as an expression of maternal love. It is used as a surreal reaction to an oddly convincing coincidence.

Who
