The Prime Minister yesterday gave an interview to Pravda in which she said that the recent improvement in Anglo-Soviet relations could be traced back to the beginning of the policies of glasnost and perestroika.

“It is crystal clear that a number of the ideas that we believe in - for example the increase of personal initiative and of responsibility - are being implemented in the Soviet Union,” she told the paper's London correspondent. “And we wish success to these efforts.”
