What do you mean? Glasnost (policy of open discussions) started in 1987, a year later than Chernobyl disaster and the coverup attempt.

It's been discussed since 1985, with implementation attempts in 1986 before the Chernobyl disaster, but only accepted as the official policy (Glasnost-Perestroika-Acceleration) in 1987. I still have a Uborevich-Borovsky's satirical comic book published in 1986 with Glasnost taking probably one third of it.
