Summary View help for Summary
This data collection explores respondents' attitudes towards changes in the Soviet Union and related issues. Respondents were questioned about the most important problem facing this country, the nation that posed the greatest threat to world peace, opinions of Bush, Gorbachev, Reagan, and Yeltsin, and the most powerful political leader of the Soviet Union. In addition, respondents were asked whether communism was dying, if the United States should take all steps necessary including the use of force to prevent the spread of communism, whether a person should be allowed to make a speech or teach in college if the person admitted to being a Communist, and if they thought the collapse of communism in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe was the single most important event in their lifetime. Background information on respondents includes political alignment, education, race, age, income, sex, and state/region of residence.
