Gorbachev introduced reforms such as the anti-alcohol campaign, Perestroika, and Glasnost. Perestroika means rebuilding or restructuring and it was introduced to make socialism work more efficiently. Glasnost means openness to public and it was called for increased openness in government institutions.
Khrushchev had different political and social reforms like the worker's social reform, abolishing education and college fees, and comrade courts.
Khrushchev and Gorbachev had different reforms, but the political problems they faced were similar. They were both in weak positions to pursue reformist policies.
Kruschev didn't kill everyone that he felt may oppose him and only ruled the USSR for a short time as a result. Stalin was totally Ruthless.
I don't think he was similar at all. Stalin was a much nastier more unpredictable person.

By the time the Soviet elite realized that Gorbachev's reforms were necessary, it was actually too late. The Soviet Empire was too far gone and the government fell.
The key difference was that Gorbachev tried to democratise socialism, and the Chinese maintained the repressive party / state system, whilst democratising the economy.
