They were wrong: he was different. Few knew, at the time, that Gorbachev came from a family of “enemies.” One of his grandfathers, a peasant, had been arrested in 1938 and tortured in prison by an investigator who broke both of his arms. The impact on the young Mikhail had been enormous, as he later wrote in his memoirs: “Our neighbors began shunning our house as if it were plague-stricken. Only at night would some close relative venture to drop by. Even the boys from the neighborhood avoided me. . .all of this was a great shock to me and he remained engraved on my memory ever since.”
. . . Only in April 1986, after the explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear complex in Ukraine, was Gorbachev ready to make genuine changes. Convinced that the Soviet Union needed to speak openly about the troubles, he came with another reform proposal: glasnost, or “openness.” ~ 556
