Summary/Abstract: The reforms initiated by M. S. Gorbachev in 1985 seemed for many a surprising phenomenon on the USSR political scene. Actually, previous attempts to restructure the soviet regime existed before as well and were put into practice by different leaders indifferent periods of time.The attempts to reform exercised successively by L.P. Beria, N.S. Khrushchev and I.V. Andropov were not able to eliminate the soviet system’s erosion factors.Brezhnev’s era known as „the era of stagnation” aggravated the existing crises. The reform was condemned to fail even from its inception; the soviet system was simply impossible to restructure since any change could have determined a chain reaction which would have weakened it even more.
