Best Answer

Gorbachev wanted to increase relations due to the economy in Russia and its dependency on China, so for the good of Russia he initiated the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

Gorbachev ran the Soviet Union with much more openness than the earlier Premiers. Soviet spokesmen began to be viewed as more willing to speak to foreign press, and other nations. While the U.S. and USSR were still engaged in the Cold War it seemed as if there was a thaw with more open communication between the two and a willingness to discuss serious matters such as reducing nuclear weapons. So yes relations did improve after Gorbachev came to power. Though there were some times of worry as a result of the Pandora's Box that he opened, in the end his period of rule heralded the end of the Cold War.
