Gorbachev was obviously deceived by the West, thinking that carrying out so-called democratic reforms would solve various problems in the Soviet Union. The result was exactly the opposite. After the so-called democratic reforms, social contradictions in the Soviet Union broke out and it quickly disintegrated. Among Gorbachev's reforms, one was the implementation of a multi-party system in the Soviet Union, which caused the legitimacy of the Soviet Union's ruling to be shaken and met with much opposition at the time. So why did Gorbachev insist on promoting this policy? First, Gorbachev’s so-called democratic reforms were to copy the Western model and implement a multi-party system in order to implement a parliamentary system in the Soviet Union; second, after Gorbachev became the leader of the Soviet Union, he The party is subject to checks and balances by many elders. The multi-party system is to introduce more power and weaken the strength of the opposition within the Soviet Union; thirdly, Gorbachev does not care whether the Soviet Union is in power, but cares about whether the Soviet Union is in power. own status. The Soviet Union, a superpower, collapsed just six years after Gorbachev took the leadership. Gorbachev’s prodigal ability is evident!

First, Gorbachev copied the Western political model and wanted to implement a parliamentary system in the Soviet Union. After the Brezhnev era, the entire Soviet system has become very rigid. Coupled with the depletion of the war in Afghanistan and the decline in international oil prices, the Soviet economy was also approaching the edge of economic collapse. In 1985, Gorbachev became leader of the Soviet Union. At the beginning, Gorbachev promoted reforms in the Soviet economy, but the results were very unsatisfactory. Gorbachev therefore believed that in order to solve the Soviet Union's problems, it was even more necessary to promote political reforms. Beginning in 1988, Gorbachev announced political reforms, implemented a full-time separation between the Soviet Union and the Soviet government, and re-divided the powers between the Soviet Union and the Soviet Union. In fact, Gorbachev wanted to promote a multi-party system in the Soviet Union in order to transform the Soviet Union into a parliamentary country.

Secondly, Gorbachev was constrained by the elders of the Soviet Union and promoted the multi-party system in order to attack the Soviet Union. **Intra-Party Rivals. In fact, Gorbachev's qualifications and status were not enough to become the leader of the Soviet Union. But in the three years before Gorbachev served as the leader of the Soviet Union, three consecutive leaders of the Soviet Union died. Therefore, the top leaders of the Soviet Union elected the youngest Gorbachev for the purpose of stabilizing the situation. The subsequent "819 coup" also showed that Gorbachev's authority within the Soviet Communist Party was simply not enough. To a large extent, Gorbachev promoted multi-party reform in order to suppress political opponents within the Soviet Union.

Third, Gorbachev cares about his personal status, not the Soviet Union’s ruling status. On the eve of the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Gorbachev once asked Yeltsin to meet his personal retirement benefits without discussing too much about the fate of the Soviet Union. In fact, Gorbachev is essentially a political opportunist. He cares more about his own power and status than whether the Soviet Union can be in power. However, Gorbachev believed that democratic reforms could win the favor of the West. But on the eve of the collapse of the Soviet Union, he sought help from Western countries but did not receive any support.

Today, Gorbachev is still alive in the world and has become "living history". Gorbachev engaged in an acting career in his later years, and he always played himself, especially when he repeated the declaration of the dissolution of the Soviet Union countless times!
