  • Soviet Society — People’s Power?
    Power and Politics in the Soviet Union, 1992
    Co-Authors: Leo Cooper
    Abstract:

    Perestroika is often compared to NEP. The New Economic Policy, initiated by Lenin, suggested to Soviet society at the time, a partial return to a system of motivation and stimulation, with which it was well familiar, which it had practiced in the past, in which it was educated and lived for generations. There was no need for a psychological transformation. The policy of Perestroika, however, implied the creation of a new type of social behaviour which in many ways conflicted with the life experience and motivation of the last two to three generations (Kon, 1988, p. 64). The question discussed among Soviet social scientists is whether Soviet society is capable of transforming itself into a civil society, into a western type society, and how long the process of transformation would take.

  • Glasnost and its Side-Effects
    Soviet Reforms and Beyond, 1991
    Co-Authors: Leo Cooper
    Abstract:

    When the concept of Perestroika was first announced at the April 1985 Plenary Meeting of the Central Committee of the CPSU, it appeared as one more attempt to reform the Soviet economy. Although the reforms subsequently approved by the Seventeenth Party Congress were of much wider scope than anything previously attempted, it was the addition of glasnost that indicated a fundamental change in Soviet thinking and policies. If Perestroika was understood as the reconstruction or, to be more precise, the restructuring or reforming of the Soviet economic system, the meaning of glasnost had not been so clearly defined and its implications for the very existence of the Soviet Union were not at first apparent to any Western observer, and possibly not even to the Soviet leadership.

  • The Theory and Practice of Perestroika
    Soviet Reforms and Beyond, 1991
    Co-Authors: Leo Cooper
    Abstract:

    Important political events can be best understood and interpreted from an historical perspective. The reconstruction of the Soviet economy, or Perestroika as it is generally known, is no exception.
