Perestroika: The End Game

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA227472 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This report considers the changes in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe as a part of a larger plan for fundamental restructuring--perestroika--of the Soviet Union and posits the view that there may be more to Gorbachevs statements that socialism is not dead than just rhetoric. The author explores not only the Marxist-Leninist foundation--or lack thereof--for Gorbachevs plan, analyzes the operational policy, or actions, of the Soviet Union searching for consistency among ideology, words, and deeds.
