	Peristroika Behaviorally Analyzed
		The ultimate goal of Peristroika, said Rakos, who made his comments at the recent meeting of the Association for Behavior Analysis, is to increase the efficiency of material production while maintaining the essential elements of socialist society in the Soviet Union.
		If it is to work, Peristroika will depend first on the success of glasnost and second, upon improved international cooperation.
		The second requirement for the success of Peristroika is increased international cooperation.

		The recent political developments in Hungary are a result of Gorbachev's peristroika, but Swami Narayana feels that peristroika may well be a result of reforms that were first attempted in Hungary years ago which at the time Russia and the Communist world were not yet ready for.

		After peristroika, this restriction was relaxed and some German groups are now paying local laborers to go find mass graves like this one and at least mark them, or sometimes to dig up the bones and bury them in new cemeteries.
		Most people don't know that one of one of the first real changes Gorbachov tried to institute in the days before Glasnost and Peristroika burned themselves onto the world consciousness was an anti-alcoholism campaign.
		Since peristroika, costs for food have gone up substantially, so for them a garden isn't just a hobby as it would be for most Americans, but a good cost effective way to grow food to either eat or sell on the open market.

	SCHOOL'S OUT: HYPERLEARNING, The new Technology and the End of Education By Lewis Perelman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Educational reform, reinvention, revitilizing, revolution: regardless of the term used, bringing about substantial, systemic change in education has proven to be a difficult task.
		Perelman uses the Peristroika and revolution analogy to describe the approach he feels must be taken to effectuate true change.
		Yet the present situation in the Soviet Union suggests that revolutions can not only be costly but often fail to realize the changes that were originally intended.

	The Strategy of Technology - Chapter 1
		Gorbachev's official view is that the basic structure of the U.S.S.R. is sound, as was Lenin's view of the world situation; the Revolution was betrayed, but the Marxist analysis of history remains sound.
		In today's Soviet Union the old nomenklatura is the enemy of glasnost and peristroika, and must be replaced.
		One thing is certain: glasnost and peristroika cannot be implemented without using the existing power structure, and that includes the nomenklatura.

		People are out getting things done, going to work, building businesses, expanding the prosperity and doing all the things that one would hope for a rapidly developing economy.

	GLASNOST Berlin - Herbert Walter: Von Marx zu Gorbatschow
		Als Gorbatschow den Versuch unternahm, die Periode der Stagnation zu überwinden, ging er von der Annahme aus, es genüge in der Wirtschaft "Peristroika" zu verwirklichen und in der Gesellschaft "Glasnost" einzuführen.
		Mit der "Peristroika" sollte die marode und vollkommen ineffektiv arbeitende Wirtschaft saniert und mit "Glasnost" die für die Eigenverantwortlichkeit der Betriebe notwendige Demokratisierung durchgeführt werden.
		Weder "Glasnost" noch "Peristroika" haben bisher positive Ergebnisse gebracht.

		The State Committee of Higher Education existed before and after the peristroika period, and has always been comprised of various departments and agencies.

	Evans - 2004, March 29
		At one gathering of about 100 of us, where we were very critical of the leadership, we decided that we should ask that they support Peristroika and Glasnost more.
		So the more we talked about it we decided that a newspaper alone was not enough, but we also had to establish some type of non-governmental organization.
		We finally decided to use this conference where more than 1,000 delegates from all around the country would attend to announce our idea for a newspaper and a movement.

	The International Homeopathic Renaissance - Dana Ullman, M.P.H. - HealthWorld Online
		Since most Russians receive free conventional medical care, it is indeed a tribute to homeopathy that a growing number of Russian citizens are paying for homeopathic care.
		Because Russian homeopaths charge for their services, they have become part of the new entrepreneurial "peristroika" that is presently occurring.
		Even Izvestia recently published a series of articles on homeopathy in which they reported that a homeopathic clinic established for factory workers in 1984 resulted in a 10.1% decrease in days lost due to sickness.

		When we followed Russell's advice in his book, within a few month we had a manager and six record labels after us.

	The Sexy Russian Mafia
		With the fading of the Italian Mafia mythology, the assimilation of the sons and daughters of "made members" into the ranks of lawyers and doctors and stockbrokers, there is a search for a substitute.
		The "evil empire" image historically mythologized in novels, movies, and true life spy stories through the decades of the cold war does not die a quiet death with glasnost and peristroika.
		We have been socialized not to trust the people who swore that they would bury us.

	The Meaning and End of History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The largely unforeseen collapse of the USSR and the so-called death of communism have, for the moment, brought with them a much needed reduction in East/West tension.
		It is, of course, impossible to predict what will finally emerge from the dramatic wave of revolutions sparked by Gorbachev's policies of glasnost and peristroika.
		In keeping with the dialectic we have been tracing, however, it is interesting to note that the break-up of the USSR coincided with the emergence of the new European Economic Community and, following the Gulf War, a more powerful (West dominated) United Nations.

		Meanwhile, Burakov inspires Fetisov to start acting like a human being once again and the day finally comes when "Peristroika" finally unshackles Burakov from the crippling restrictions he has endured for so long.
		Now, he has the manpower and the means, and all he needs is a final, fresh victim, and thought that has driven Burakov to tears on more than one occasion.
