What was one reason why russians were uncomfortable with the rapid changes occurring in their country in the 1980s?
a. they did not trust gorbachev as much as they had trusted lenin.
b. they wanted more time to adjust to democratic rule.
c. they were used to high levels of government control.
d. they were concerned that their wages would suffer.

The correct answer is C. Russians were uncomfortable with the rapid changes occurring in their country in the 1980s, called Perestroika, because they were used to high levels of government control.

Perestroika consisted of reforming the Soviet economic structures. It sought to open the possibilities to entrepreneurs without attacking the socialist system, but reforming and democratizing some processes. It was fully introduced in 1987 to take the country out of the serious economic crisis it was and boost development. It was also intended to fight against corruption and backwardness, in favor of economic liberalization and promoting investment. There was also a certain democratization of political life.

However, this opening policy turned against Gorbachev, as economic and social problems increased as a result of their reforms. The criticism of the Soviet population against the political leadership of the Communist Party increased, as the positive view of life in the USSR that had been shown by official media for decades was being rapidly dismantled, and the population was not convinced of the change.
