Mikhail Gorbachev was a Soviet politician who served as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1985 to 1991 and as the country's first and last President from 1990 to 1991. He is best known for his policies of glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring), which aimed to reform the Soviet system and promote transparency. Gorbachev's efforts contributed to the end of the Cold War and the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, significantly altering the geopolitical landscape. After leaving office, he remained an influential figure in global politics and advocacy for social and environmental issues.
