The Russian term 'perestroika' roughly translates as 'restructuring' and was applied to the political movement within the Soviet Union in the late 1980's, during the tenure of Mikhail Gorbachev.

President Reagan suggested that perestroika meant that Soviet communism had failed its people.

Under perestroika, multi-candidate elections were seen as a form of democratization that would produce popular and progressive leaders.
