THE 80S OF THE XX CENTURY - THE POLICY OF “REORGANIZATION”: PURPOSE, OBJECTIVES AND CONSEQUENCES

Abstract

The policy of perestroika of the Soviet state led to a number of problems that have accumulated in the country over the years. The government, which initiated the policy of perestroika, considered the ideas of Western democracy as essentially a revolutionary achievement of openness, eurocommunism, universal values, new and old philosophical ideas and concepts. Special attention in this policy was paid to the fact that administrative and organizational measures were aimed at strengthening order and discipline, and most importantly, activate the "human factor" and targeted programs of scientific and technological progress. However, the tasks set were not fulfilled, but led to increased political tension. The article analyzes the consequences of the perestroika policy using various scientific literature and archival documents.
