Mikhail Gorbachev promoted two main reforms: glasnost and perestroika. Glasnost aimed to increase transparency and freedom of expression within the Soviet Union, allowing greater openness in government and society. Perestroika focused on restructuring the economy to introduce elements of market economics and reduce the state's control over various sectors. Together, these reforms aimed to revitalize the Soviet system but ultimately contributed to its dissolution.


What problem faced the soviet union during the presidency of mikhail?

During Mikhail Gorbachev's presidency, the Soviet Union faced significant economic stagnation, political unrest, and a loss of control over its satellite states. His policies of glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring) aimed to reform the economy and increase transparency, but instead led to heightened public dissatisfaction and demands for greater freedoms. Additionally, nationalist movements surged in various republics, ultimately contributing to the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. Gorbachev's efforts to modernize the country were met with resistance, complicating the already fragile political landscape.

What are some of the changes that Gorbachev made to the soviet economy?

Mikhail Sergeevich Gorbachev, with his economic awakening, and restructuring of the Soviet system "Perestroika" eventually helped to improve the efficiency of the country, along with international trade, which was not readily available before. Gorbachev was quoted as saying that perestroika was the "conference of development of democracy, socialist self-government, encouragement of initiative and creative endeavor, improved order and disciple, more glasnost, criticism and self-criticism in all spheres of our society. It is utmost respect for the individual and consideration for personal dignity." He then could not control Glasnost and perestroika. This led to the end of the Soviet Union and the fall of Communism in Europe. The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics stopped existing on December of 1991.


How tall was Mikhail Gorbachev?

In a Photo with Gorbachev, George H. Bush, and Ronald Reagan one can gather some insight to Gorbachev's height. George H. Bush towers over both Reagan and Gorbachev, however, Reagan is slightly leaned over, but so is Bush. If George H. Bush is about 6'2" or 6'3" and Reagan is somewhere near the 6' or 6'1" mark, one can comfortably place Mikhail Gorbachev at around 5'9" to 5'10". Mikhail Gorbachev: 5'10" I used this picture to draw my conclusions http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Reagan_Bush_Gorbachev_in_New_York_1988.jpg

Looking at how Mikhail Gorbachevs policies changed the Soviet Union would you consider him a patriot or in a sense a subversive Explain your answer?

I'll do my best : Gorbachev comes across, in retrospect, as a realist. He did what he did, as he saw it for the benefit of Russia. I don't think he gave up the Soviet control of eastern Europe for the benefit of thre peoples therein, I think he did this because he saw that that was in the interests of Russia. Maintaining forces in the occupied states was a luxury Russia could no longer afford. If Russia was to free its post war image of the USSR as a totalitarian state then something had to give. No, I don't see him as subversive, it is difficult to separate what he did from the subsequent Yeltsyn regime, but it was Gorbachev who broke the mould. If you look now at the state that Putin has dominated over recent years it is obviously different from what Gorbachev inherited. As I say relinquishing powers the Soviets had in eastern Europe was a good thing from the point of view of the Poles, Czechs, Germans & so on, but I am sure it was not done for their benefit, it was done, as Gorbachev saw it, for the benefit of Russia. Therefore Patriot it is from me.
