The terms glasnost and perestroika are Russian, meaning openness and restructuring. They were used to describe reforms that were introduced to the USSR in the late 1980's by Mikhail Gorbachev. These reforms did not involve free enterprise, they just involved a less repressive version of the communist dictatorship and the command economy, however, once reform began, there was suddenly a huge demand for more reform, which ultimately resulted in the dissolution of the USSR and the end of communist governments in Europe. And of course, the communist command economy was then replaced by the free enterprise system.

They were both created by Mikhail Gorbachev. Glasnost was democratic reforms, meaning more freedom and having elections. Perestroika was to restructure the economy, having market reforms.
Mikhail Gorbachev was the last* General Secretary of the Communist Party and the last President of the USSR, and his policies of perestroika and glasnost lead to the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991. Perestroika means "restructuring", and was put in place in 1986 to jumpstart the stagnant Soviet economy by creating a reliable program to increase social and economic growth. Laws were passed allowing private ownership of businesses, production levels and prices to be set by priciples of supply and demand, businesses to go bankrupt and to conduct international trade. Glasnost, meaning "publicity", was enacted in 1988 and gave many new freedoms to the people of the Soviet Union, including more freedom of speech. Gorbachev also put into place many political reforms, including multi-candidate elections and the creation of the Congress of People's Deputies, that all eventually led to the weakening of the CPSU and the demise of the Soviet Union. *Vladimis Ivashko succeeded Gorbachev as General Secretary of the CPSU after Gorbachev's resignation but his reign only lasted 5 days before the collapse of the party.
