Mikhail Gorbachev's policies of glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring) inadvertently accelerated the collapse of the Soviet Union, which some argue weakened the USSR's position in the Cold War. His willingness to engage in arms reduction negotiations and reduce military tensions diminished the Soviet Union's perceived strength, leading to a loss of influence in Eastern Europe. Additionally, the independence movements in satellite states gained momentum under his reforms, ultimately contributing to the dissolution of Soviet control and altering the global balance of power. Critics contend that these outcomes undermined the geopolitical stability that the Cold War sought to maintain.
