One fact that i think is sort of interesting is that he announced to the rest of the world that the country had been hiding the truth from its citizens and that they had been using Propaganda and had taken away all the literature that would give away all their secrets (by which most of this literature was written by people they have imprisoned), and gave them only the literature that they wanted people to read.

How tall was Mikhail Gorbachev?

In a Photo with Gorbachev, George H. Bush, and Ronald Reagan one can gather some insight to Gorbachev's height. George H. Bush towers over both Reagan and Gorbachev, however, Reagan is slightly leaned over, but so is Bush. If George H. Bush is about 6'2" or 6'3" and Reagan is somewhere near the 6' or 6'1" mark, one can comfortably place Mikhail Gorbachev at around 5'9" to 5'10". Mikhail Gorbachev: 5'10" I used this picture to draw my conclusions http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Reagan_Bush_Gorbachev_in_New_York_1988.jpg

How did mikhail gorbachev begin to change soviet policy?

Mikhail Gorbachev began to change Soviet policy through his introduction of "glasnost" (openness) and "perestroika" (restructuring) in the mid-1980s. Glasnost aimed to increase transparency and freedom of expression, allowing for greater public discussion and criticism of the government. Perestroika sought to reform the Soviet economy by introducing some market-like reforms and reducing the central planning system's grip. These policies ultimately aimed to revitalize the Soviet system but also led to increased demands for political freedom and contributed to the collapse of the Soviet Union.
