His death revived shaky rumors that the last head of the communist and officially atheist Soviet Union was a Christian convert.Gorbachev had been more friendly to religion than most of his predecessors. His reformist principles of openness and restructuring, known as "glasnost" or "perestroika," had a broad impact on Soviet social and economic freedom and helped end some draconian burdens on religious worship. His Cold War rival U.S. President Ronald Reagan was preoccupied with the idea that Gorbachev was a secret religious believer, according to Reagan biographer James Mann.In March 2008 Gorbachev had to dispel claims he had become a Christian.
