- (Inside Gorbachev's USSR series, Part 2) Presents a behind-the-scenes look at glasnost pathbreakers, those who have made startling advances in areas where government controls were once rigidly applied. Shows how Soviets are dealing with Gorbachev's plan to replace party slogans with fresh thinking in his fight against a powerful bureaucracy: citizens criticizing old regimes; media professionals and teachers explosing historical lies and trying to stimulate independent thought; and hard-liners denouncing the innovations of glasnost.
