  3. You missed Gorbachev's motivation for opening up the system, he knew that any actual reforms would face backlash from the Communist Party's politburo so he tried to give Soviet citizens more people so they could elect him and he would have the backing of the people. He was right that the inner party would lose power, but as the entire country was built on the Bolshevik Party it simply stopped existing without the party, so he lost out.
