The Hardliners were determined to maintain the status quo. The Reformers, led by President Mikhail Gorbachev, attempted to implement rapid political and economic in order to further their political and economic goals. Meanwhile, the Liberals sought to implement far-reaching economic reforms, while maintaining totalitarian political control.
