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 began political and economic reforms in the Soviet Union during Ronald Reagan's presidency. He introduced policies known as glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring) in the mid-1980s, aimed at increasing transparency and reforming the economy. These reforms contributed to a significant shift in Soviet society and ultimately played a crucial role in the end of the Cold War.

Mikhail Gorbachev began to change Soviet policy through his introduction of "glasnost" (openness) and "perestroika" (restructuring) in the mid-1980s. Glasnost aimed to increase transparency and freedom of expression, allowing for greater public discussion and criticism of the government. Perestroika sought to reform the Soviet economy by introducing some market-like reforms and reducing the central planning system's grip. These policies ultimately aimed to revitalize the Soviet system but also led to increased demands for political freedom and contributed to the collapse of the Soviet Union.
