Positive and negative features of perestroika in the USSR.

If we approach the assessment of the period of perestroika, which was initiated by Mikhail Gorbachev, from the point of view of a modern person, then the following positive features of this phenomenon can be distinguished. Perestroika made it possible to start building democratic relations within the country, made it possible to interact and work productively with Western countries. However, the negative features are that all the reforms that were carried out at that time were half-hearted, were implemented uncertainly and inconsistently, which led to the collapse of this policy and the state as a whole.
