The reforms of Nikita Khrushchev and Mikhail Gorbachev that were most similar include their emphasis on de-Stalinization and the promotion of more open political discourse. Both leaders sought to reduce the oppressive measures of their predecessors, with Khrushchev denouncing Stalin's cult of personality and Gorbachev promoting glasnost, or openness, to encourage transparency and dialogue within the Soviet Union. Additionally, both aimed to reform the economy through decentralization, although their approaches and contexts differed significantly.

he was cool
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.
