Previously he was foreign affairs spokesman for Mikhail Gorbachev and press secretary to Eduard Shevardnadze.[2]

He is noted for coining the expression "Sinatra Doctrine" in reference to Gorbachev's non-intervention policy with respect to other members of the Warsaw Pact.[3] When asked, during Mikhail Gorbachev's visit to Prague in 1987, what the difference was between the Prague Spring and perestroika, Gerasimov replied: "nineteen years".[4]

He was recognized in 1990 as Communicator of the Year by the (American) National Association of Government Communicators (NAGC).[5]

He is mentioned in the Billy Bragg song "Moving the Goalposts".
