That's just it- he never set about to destroy the SU. He was, through and through, a believer in Communism, and wanted only to reform it. I find it telling that he said "Our main mistake was acting too late to reform the Communist Party." He clearly still feels that all he was attempting to do was reform it.
Yes, precisely. It was quite interesting to hear him reflect on that. It was a curious mix of honest and self-reflection with what appears in retrospect to be a delusion.
