The thickness of your blood depends on specialized blood cells, called platelets. After tissue damage, your platelets activate, clump together and begin to synthesize protein fibers that hold the cells together in a blood clot to prevents bleeding from the injury site.
Gorbachev implemented Glasnost to make the Soviet Union more free and more in line with other modern industrialized countries. Glasnost was a set of policies created in the late 1980s to: 1  Make the government of the USSR more transparent. 2  Increase accessibility to the affairs of the government.
Moreover, Soviet theorists are no longer using the formula âdeveloped socialism,â the standard label for the USSR under Brezhnev. âReally existing socialismâ is taking a harsher, more realistic look at its real existence. Gorbachevâs ârevolutionaryâ reforms have the backing of economists of both East and West. Interestingly, spokesmen on both sides, as we will see, agree that Khrushchevâs grandchildren can no longer afford to live under âMarxism.â This is surely a question that Marxists have to investigate more closely.
