Why this topic? (PERESTROYKA)

Term Paper Topic:
Gorbachev in the Face of the Collapse of the Evil Empire
Why this topic: I was born
in 1987 in Vilnius, Lithuania. This makes me a child of “glasnost and
perestroika,” the two major policies of Gorbachev that changed the course of
History and greatly contributed to the liberation of Lithuania and to the
collapse of the USSR.
In the course of the events that
took place in the 1980’s and early 1990’s Ronald Regan emerged as a strong
political and historical figure, who is credited to have brought about the end
of the Cold War. Gorbachev, however, who also undeniably played a critical role
in these historically monumental events, did not establish himself as a
political hero, in fact among the many citizens of his homeland-Russia-
Gorbachev has acquired quite an undesirable reputation.
The goal of my term paper is to
explore Gorbachev at the dawn of the Soviet Union and to delineate on how his
policies at the time have shaped Russian views on this political figure.
