Glasnost roughly translates from Russian as "openness" or transparency of governmental activities. It was designed to end the corruption and abuses of Soviet party leaders, to improve the stagnant economy, to reduce censorship, and to give greater freedom of expression in the USSR. This was a major change from the previously covert and authoritarian Leninist rule in the USSR. It was initiated under the premiership of Mikhail Gorbachev, who ironically became the last leader of the Soviet Union, as Russia soon lost its grip on the other republics and the satellite states.
