Glasnost, Perestroika and The New Thinking

Více o knize

Gorbachev's innovative reforms, including glasnost and perestroika, marked a significant shift in Soviet foreign policy and the Communist Party. As a new-age technocrat, he recognized the decline of the CPSU but could not foresee the unintended consequences that would lead to the Soviet Union's collapse. This transformation initiated a complex evolution from socialism towards engagement with western democracy, offering valuable insights for political scientists and historians analyzing the ongoing changes within Russia's leadership under Medvedev and Putin.
