The Gorbachev revolution refers to the period of significant political and economic reforms initiated by Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in the mid-1980s. Key policies included Glasnost (openness), which promoted greater transparency and freedom of expression, and Perestroika (restructuring), aimed at revitalizing the stagnant Soviet economy through limited market reforms. These changes ultimately contributed to the weakening of the Communist Party's control and set the stage for the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. The Gorbachev revolution is often seen as a pivotal moment in the Cold War, influencing global politics and the transition toward democracy in Eastern Europe.
