I think that is a very good article. I would quote this from it,though: Among the unexpected results of these policies was the launching of the movement that brought the downfall of the Communist system in Eastern Europe....As with perestroika, the early stages of glasnost were meant to be limited in scope. Soviet society would be open to criticism by its intellectuals--artists, scientists, writers, and others. Gorbachev believed that by informing the Soviet people about the true conditions of their society and its economic failures he would win their support for perestroika.
