Contributing sentiments towards policy:

63% : Soviet Communism could not be reformed.
54% : Mikhail Gorbachev, who rose to power as a loyal functionary in the Soviet system, showed the world -- and his own people -- that a different kind of country was possible: a more open, democratic one that places the freedom and welfare of its own people ahead of maintaining a repressive empire at home and in Eastern Europe.
52% : His policies, intended to advance "socialism with a human face" instead of salvaging the Communist system, triggered democratic revolutions at home and in the near abroad.
