One of the key reforms introduced by Mikhail Gorbachev after he became leader of the Soviet Union in 1985 was "glasnost," or openness. This policy aimed to increase transparency in government and promote freedom of expression, allowing for greater public discussion and criticism of the regime. Glasnost led to a more open media landscape and encouraged citizens to voice their concerns, ultimately contributing to the decline of state censorship and the rise of political activism across the country.

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.
Perestroika is a Russian word meaning "rebuilding" or "restructuring". It became internationally recognized when Soviet President Gorbachev used it to describe his planned reforms for the Soviet Union. Since the time of Gorbachev is has been linked to the fall and break up of the Soviet Union and the formation of the Russian Federation.
Mikhail Gorbachev, Soviet General Secretary sought to bring social reforms that would bring multi-candidate but not multi-party elections to Soviet elections. He hoped to infuse the party with progressive candidates who would carry out his social reforms. Perestroika introduced market like reforms. He did not want to end command economy , simply to segue into a more efficient system of socialism. Unfortunately existing problems within the system caused more nationalism and resistance with constituents and ultimately led to the end of the Soviet Union.
