C. supporting the democratic system  

Explanation:

From the late 1980's through 1991—the time of Mikhail Gorbachev's perestroika ("rebuilding"), glasnost ("transparency"), and demokratizatsiya ("democratization") change strategies—essential changes occurred in the political framework and government structures of the Soviet Union that modified both the idea of the Soviet administrative state and the status and forces of the individual republics. In 1988 the Soviet Congress of People's Deputies was made, and a Congress of People's Deputies was set up in every republic. Out of the blue, races to these bodies gave voters a selection of competitors, including non-socialists, however the Communist Party kept on ruling the system.  

From that point, the pace of progress quickened. In June 1990 the Congress of the Russian republic declared that Russian laws outweighed Soviet laws, and the next year Boris Yeltsin turned into the republic's first fairly chosen president. A fruitless upset in August 1991 by hard-liners contradicted to Gorbachev's changes prompted the breakdown of most Soviet government associations, the nullification of the Communist Party's driving job in government, and the disintegration of the gathering itself. Republic after republic announced its "sway," and in December, when the Soviet Union was formally broken up, Russia was set up as an independent nation.
