Mikhail Gorbachev, Soviet General Secretary sought to bring social reforms that would bring multi-candidate but not multi-party elections to Soviet elections. He hoped to infuse the party with progressive candidates who would carry out his social reforms. Perestroika introduced market like reforms. He did not want to end command economy , simply to segue into a more efficient system of socialism. Unfortunately existing problems within the system caused more nationalism and resistance with constituents and ultimately led to the end of the Soviet Union.
