Self-help organizations and charities were the most numerous, but
least-studied of pressure groups to emerge during perestroika .
This book examines the social exclusion experienced before 1985 by
non-working citizens, studies the pre-1985 disabled people's
movement and its numerous unofficial, but non-dissident
organizations, discusses why the Gorbachev leadership adopted the
non-Soviet concept of 'charity', analyses the failure of local
authorities after 1985 to stave off pluralism and defeat the
voluntary organizations, and assesses how successfully the latter
built the foundations of a civil society.
