i am doing a report on glasnost in the soviet union and some more help would be greatly appriciated if you could please help me thank you which glasnost?
What's "perestroikaaa"? I don't know, but I changed it to read perestroika so that the link goes where we want it to.
There is a lot of opinion in this article.
[edit] Sections
I don't think the Objectives section needs to be separate from the Glasnost in USSR and in Russia section. There's more about the objectives in the first section. If no one objects, I will change it. -Athaler 16:08, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Front Image
Is the front image really that relevant? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.40.132.53 (talk) 20:47, 6 May 2007 (UTC).
- If you're talking about the destroyer, I agree. There may be some relevance, but it's not obvious right now. -Athaler 16:09, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
- I was wondering about it too. It seems to better illustrate the end of the Cold War than glasnost. Anyway, the article could use at least one image. Maybe a portrait of Gorbachev from the period? None of the images on commons really seem appropriate (undated, not contemporary, or include other politicians). Perestroika has an excellent image for that article. Was glasnost ever used in slogan? --Jtir 22:43, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what this is about, but the cartoon is interesting — and probably under copyright. --Jtir 23:07, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
- Found some posters dated 1987 and 1988 — presumably also under copyright. --Jtir 23:22, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
- {{Non-free poster}} claims fair use when the image is low resolution and is used to illustrate the subject at hand.
- I translated "смелее, товарищ! гласность- наша сила!" as "Be Bold, Comrade! Openness- Our Strength!"
using http://babelfish.altavista.com/, http://www.multitran.ru, and some guesswork, so it could probably be improved. - --Jtir 21:37, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
