E.269-1991
Perestroika [restructuring] was the policy of fundamental
political and economic reform initiated by Mikhail S.
Gorbachev, alongside glasnost [openness of information]
in the second half of the 1980s. These democratising
changes ultimately brought about the disintegration of
the U.S.S.R. in 1991. The traditional Soviet hammer and
sickle are irradiated by a sunburst symbolising the new
enlightenment. |
