I want to know the answer to the following question:
What was Gorbachev trying to separate?
All the background I'm provided with is that "On July 1, 1988, the fourth and last day of a bruising 19th Party Conference, Gorbachev won the backing of the tired delegates for his last-minute proposal to create a new supreme legislative body called the Congress of People's Deputies.". Is that enough to answer the question?
