Gorbachev And Glasnost: Viewpoints From The Soviet Press

Articles translated from the daily, weekly and monthly Soviet press, illustrating the explosion of public debate on the issues of reform, democratization, self-determination of nationalities, military and foreign policy. With glasnost the Soviet press is now an invaluable source of information on politics and society. The book is inevitably only a sampling, but the selection is judicious, including the views of conservatives as well as reformers.
