Why did Gorbachev’s reform policy fail in spite of his accurate diagnosis of the problem? |
|
Answer» 1. When Gorbachev carried out his reforms and loosened the system, he set in motion forces and expectations that few could have predicted and became virtually impossible to control. 2. Some sections of Soviet Society felt that Gorbachev should have moved much faster and were disappointed and impatient with him. 3. The members of communist party felt that their power and privileges were eroding and Gorbachev was moving too quickly. 4. In this tug of war, Gorbachev lost support on all sides and divided public opinion with the disillusionment of inadequate dependence. |
