- W2266181297 abstract "Mikhail Gorbachev is widely and severely criticized for failing to pursue a more rapid and consistent reform program. Yet the nature and scope of the difficulties Gorbachev has been facing are not sufficiently understood and appreciated. Apathy, fear, and repeated disillusionment with reform campaigns and extravagant promises are too widespread. The regime of total information control and suppression of public criticism blocked the articulation of the interests, hopes, fears, and anger of the peoples of the USSR. It prevented political personalities from emerging and building constituencies. The agenda of problems facing the USSR was stupendous, and there was a perilous lack of knowledge and understanding of the problems and dynamics of Soviet society. As long-time KGB Chairman, Yuri Andropov put it, do not know the society in which we live. A profound learning process and a rebirth of politics had first to take place. Programs had to be articulated and debated, and political forces needed to come to life and organize to drive change. Had Gorbachev called for a series of Polish-style round tables to address problems facing the country, he would not have been able to find legitimate representatives of society with whom to negotiate. Before risking involvement, people had to be convinced that perestroika meant real change, not just another campaign. Time and effort were necessary for people to get used to political debate and organization, for alternatives to be examined and discussed, and for groups and organizations to be formed." @default.
