The man who started fighting the decline is Mikhail Gorbachev.
Glasnost and Perestroika inspire hope in the East and West. The Soviet Union suddenly drops its historical role as a brakesman and becomes the motor of the reform process. As a consequence, the party elites in the satellites are put under increasing pressure.
