The reforms in the Soviet Union, particularly under Mikhail Gorbachev's policies of glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring), initially led to improved relations with the United States during the late 1980s. These policies reduced tensions of the Cold War, facilitating arms reduction agreements like the INF Treaty and fostering dialogue. However, the subsequent political instability and the eventual dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 shifted the balance of power, leading to a complex post-Cold War relationship characterized by both cooperation and new challenges.
