Russians bid final farewell i) ex-first lady Associated Press Bidding farewell to the woman who was his soulmate, forrner Soviet President Mikhail tJgJbachev bent slowly over wife ilia's open coffin today and gave her Anal kiss goodbye. hundreds of well-wishers clustered outside Moscow's cemetery, priests swinging pepsers of incense chanted the burial service. Gorbachev bent low jaff kissed his wife one last time, just, below the traditional Russian Orthodox burial scarf wrapped on Raisa Gorbachev's forehead. Gorbachev appeared healthy, clearly worn down after sitting jwith his wife for two months in a German clinic as she lost ground Jn her struggle with leukemia.

But eyes that may once have Jtarrowed in suspicion brimmed frith sympathy on Thursday as -crowds of ordinary Russians clustered outside the cemetery, and Jtjie building where an earlier memorial service was held, for a glimpse of the funeral cortege. "She was a good woman for Russia," said a woman outside the cemetery who gave her name only Irina. "We just want to show Gorbachev) we're sorry for him." A few minutes later, the progression drove past, some mourners in sleek modern limousines and 'others crowded into battered So-iviet-era buses.

The mourners attended a private service in a chapel of the Novodevichy convent, to the cemetery that holds iifhe graves of luminaries including nton Chekhov and Nikita Khrushchev. Earlier Thursday, a stream of foreign guests and Iprominent Russians including Boris Yeltsin's wife, Nai-na, brought wreaths, bouquets words of condolence to the Jamily as they sat with the coffin in the Russian Cultural Foundation, which Raisa Gorbachev rffpunded. A small delegation of students from the philosophy department at Moscow State University, where tRaisa Gorbachev once taught, "brought a large wreath of white proses and fir fronds.
