A Revolution without Shots The second of three programmes looking at the changes being made by Mikhail Gorbachev in the USSR, 70 years after the Bolshevik revolution. Gordon Clough and Bridget Kendall explore the breadth and reality of the new freedoms being introduced through glasnost. While in Moscow changes are already being cautiously enjoyed, a visit to
Kiev, the capital of the Ukraine, revealed that there things are slower to alter, and the new central policy has not always filtered down through the ranks of the party hierarchy. Producers BRIDGET KENDALL and VICKY WHITFIELD Editor BRIAN WALKER BBC Manchester
