Political leader Mikhail Gorbachev call for candor in politics, economic reform and cultural liberalization has thrown into disarray those Eastern European regimes that once depended on the Soviet Union to act as a bulwark against change. Only in the past few months has Gorbachev addressed the question of changing Moscow's historically dictatorial relationship with Eastern Europe. But from his first days in office he recognized that his country was dealing with states that are now more nearly the equals of the Soviet Union than in the past, each possessing a greater sense of its own rights and entitlements.
