In the early to mid 1980s Mikhail Gorbachev, the leader of the Soviet Union, recognized that the Soviet Union was falling behind economically on the world stage. To combat this, he began a restructuring program (perestroika) in order to promote a more efficient governing system. To put pressure on the conservatives of the Communist Party, he encouraged a policy of openness (glasnost) and lessened the rules on free speech.
Mikhail Gorbachev introduced measures that eventually led to the breakdown of the communist Soviet Union. Two of these measures were Glasnost and Perestroika, also known as openness and restructuring.
