The definition of ignorance is a lack of knowledge or information. The definition of propaganda is official government communications that are designed to influence people's opinions. The correlation between ignorance and the power of propaganda is as follows: The less a person knows or is informed about, the greater chance there is that propaganda will influence them. <span>Governments often do not want their citizens to know what they are doing so they proclaim a blackout on news and information. This increases a government's ability to use the power of propaganda to persuade the people to believe what it is doing is correct. </span>
        
             
        
        
        
In 1985, reform-minded Mikhail Gorbachev came to power as General Secretary of the Soviet Union. He introduced reforms along liberal lines. The two reforms most commonly associated with him are glasnost and perestroika. Glasnost means 'openness' and refers to government transparency and increased freedom of expression. 
Perestroika refers to a series of political and economic reforms meant to kickstart the stagnant 1980s economy of the Soviet Union. Its architect, President Mikhail Gorbachev, would oversee the most fundamental changes to his nation's economic engine and political structure since the Russian Revolution.
