He didn't anticipate that the rejected Yeltson would ever send the country into cowboy (Read mafia) capitalism and Plutocracy.
IIRc he said if he'd thought it through better he'd send Yeltson to some far away place as an Ambassador just to shut him the fuck up.
He apparently wanted to steer the USSR into a Social democracy, Ie. still Socialist but a not Totalitarian.
