How did mikhail gorbachev differ from previous soviet leaders? a he did not actually believe in communism. b he recognized that the soviet union needed to adapt. c he sought to cooperate with the united states. d he acknowledged that communism was not viable.

The correct answer is B. Mikhail Gorbachev differed from previous Soviet leaders as he recognized that the Soviet Union needed to adapt.

Explanation:

When Mikhail Gorbachev came to power, he found a country with serious problems. After the death of Stalin three decades earlier, the denunciation of his repressive methods never led people to question the communist monopoly of power. On the other hand, the arms race with the West had contributed to economic stagnation.

To change things, Gorbachev announced a program of reforms that would become popular through the slogans of perestroika (restructuring) and glasnost (transparency). Its objective was not to establish a democracy, but to proceed to a revitalization of socialism. But what it achieved was just the opposite: the fall of the communist system and the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

a. always outside of government control.

on 6 november american voters will elect members of the house of representatives and the senate, which together are called congress.

both houses of congress are currently controlled by the republican party, which backs president donald trump.

the democrats think they can win control of the house of representatives this year by winning a majority of seats.

doing so would let them block or delay the president’s plans by refusing to enact them.

all 435 seats in the house of representatives are up for election.

if the democrats want to take control of the house by having the most seats, they’re going to have to claim at least 23 from the republicans.
