<h2>To appeal to the dissatisfied, multi-ethnic population of the Soviet Union.</h2>

A comment from the <em>History Channel</em> explains the situation in the USSR when Gorbachev was in power.  "In 1985, even many of the most conservative hardliners realized that much needed to change. The Soviet economy was faltering and dissidents and internal and external critics were calling for an end to political repression and government secrecy."  As far as the aim of Gorbachev's reforms, "The plan was for the Soviet Union to become more transparent, and in turn for the leadership of the nation and the Communist Party to be improved," according to <em>YourDictionary</em>.

In March 1985, Mikhail Gorbachev proposed policies of <em>perestroika </em>(restructuring) and <em>glasnost</em> (openness) in the Soviet Union.  These seemed like policies that leaned in the direction of Western ways of economics and politics.  <em>Perestroika </em>meant allowing some measure of private enterprise in the Soviet Union.  <em>Glasnost </em>meant allowing a bit of freedom in regard to speech and publication.   Gorbachev was not trying to get rid of the Soviet communist system.  He actually was trying to prop it up and preserve it, because it was starting to have many problems sustaining itself, and there was too much dissatisfaction and dissent occurring among the country's people.  But in the end, opening things up a bit with <em>perestroika </em>and <em>glasnost</em> policies pushed the USSR further in the direction of shedding the communist model under which it had lived for so long, and would begin to spell the end of the USSR.

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

hello your questions lacks the required options here are the options

a) This will increase demand

b) This will decrease the quantity demanded

c) This will increase the quantity demanded  

Answer : This will increase demand ( A )

Explanation:

Tax rebate also known as tax refund is a payment made to a taxpayer by the government and this is usually when the taxpayer pays above the required amount of tax he or she was supposed to pay.

This simply means that the taxpayers will have an extra money to purchase certain items that might not be an essential item but  important and expensive such as Laptops and other items. therefore the shift in laptop market due to the rebate is caused by the increase in demand for laptops and not necessarily increase in quantity demanded i.e there will be increase in customers and not an increase in quantity by existing customers since it is natural for one customer to purchase just a single laptop at a time for personal use.
