The discussions focused on glasnost and perestroika, disarmament and in ternational peace and security, and searching for common ground — Possibilities for the future + The actions of young people was a common theme throughout the Soviet's remarks. The three Soviets expressed “op- timism over the changes taking place in their country and were enthusiastic about the role Soviet youth is playing in helping changes take root. Matyukhin, in his address to the audience, said Soviet youth has awakened from apathy and passiveness. “‘Perestroika needs people who are capable of taking independent decisions, who do not wait for instruc- tions from above on every trifle but assume responsibility and carry out all tasks, big or small, to the end,"’ he said “Where could we find the people like that? Of course, in the environ- ment of youth as the future of perestroika depends on the young people in the U.S.S.R."” The festival theme this year was Achieving Our Goals and the weekend event included speeches and choral singing by various community choirs.
