Which one of the following statements is not true about Perestroika?

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: C

Explanation

Perestroika ("restructuring") was a series of political and economic reforms introduced by Mikhail Gorbachev in the mid-1980s to modernize the Soviet Union. Statement C is incorrect because the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) was not Gorbachev's idea; it was created by the leaders of Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus in December 1991 (Belavezha Accords) to replace the USSR. Gorbachev actually opposed the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the formation of the CIS, preferring a "New Union Treaty" to keep the republics together.

  • Option A: True. Gorbachev authored the book Perestroika: New Thinking for Our Country and the World in 1987.
  • Option B: True. The policy was "anti-Stalinist" in its move toward liberalization but initially aimed to reform, not abolish, the socialist system.
  • Option D: True. Gorbachev framed his reforms as a return to Lenin's original ideals, specifically the New Economic Policy (NEP) and "socialist democracy."
