Glasnost, initiated by Mikhail Gorbachev in the 1980s, aimed to increase transparency and openness in the Soviet government and society. Its results included greater freedom of expression, a surge in public discourse, and the exposure of government corruption and inefficiencies. This openness contributed to a decline in the authority of the Communist Party, ultimately leading to the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. Additionally, it spurred movements for independence in various Soviet republics and increased demands for democratic reforms.
