The article considers the economic policy pursued by the last Soviet leader M.S. Gorbachev. The authors carry out a periodization of economic reforms 1985-1991, emphasizing three stages of reforms. The ineffectiveness of the attempts to give planned economy a new impetus (“acceleration”) forced M. S. Gorbachev to use the idea of Kosygin reform, providing the economic independence for enterprises and then skip to the plan of imposing the regulated market. Such contradictions and inconsistencies of conducted economic course became one of the reasons for the collapse of the USSR.
