These reforms did not involve free enterprise, they just involved a less repressive version of the communist dictatorship and the command economy, however, once reform began, there was suddenly a huge demand for more reform, which ultimately resulted in the dissolution of the USSR and the end of communist governments in Europe. And of course, the communist command economy was then replaced by the free enterprise system.
