Gorbachev´s intention was to reform the Communist system, to democratize it and make it less authoritarian. It was sort of a spring in public affairs. Nevertheless, a freer new atmosphere led to protests in many Soviet republics, nationalist sentiments were reborn, political instability ensued. In the last years of the Soviet Union, Gorbachev resembled more and more a wizard that had liberated forces he could not control anymore.
