* In his unpublished book manuscript, mentioned on page 484, Gorbachev noted that many regional party officials received telephone calls from the Central Committee telling them to republish the Nina Andreyeva article and to ‘propagandize it’. When a response to the article appeared in Pravda, they concluded that a struggle was going on in the leadership and they understood that ‘behind “Nina Andreyeva” stand certain forces’ (M.S. Gorbachev, ‘Perestroyka–ispytanie zhizn’yu’, pp. 46–7).
