Under Glasnost, Soviet people could criticize the system without being punished.

Under Perestroika, Gorbachev loosened government control and moved the economy toward capitalism.

Gorbachev's policies of Glastnost and Perestroika(literally meaning "publicity" and "restructuring") signaled a period of openness and general liberalization in the USSR. The relaxing of authoritarian policies by the Soviet Government encouraged Soviet Republics first to attain greater autonomy, then split from the Soviet Union altogether. Glasnost and Perestroika also had the effect of greatly improving relations with the US and NATO, which greatly diminished the threat of accidental war. In the end, Glasnost and Perestroika not only contributed to the breakup of the USSR, but the end of the Cold War.

Perestroika essentially restructured the Soviet political and economic system. It was a political movement of the Communist Party in 1986.
