Gorbachev, Yeltsin, and Putin all implemented policies aimed at reforming the Soviet Union and later Russia, though their approaches differed significantly. Gorbachev's policies of glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring) were designed to modernize the economy and promote transparency, while Yeltsin focused on rapid market reforms and democratization. In contrast, Putin's policies have leaned towards centralization of power and a return to state control over key industries, yet all three leaders sought to navigate the complexities of transitioning from a communist system to a more market-oriented economy. Despite their differing methods and outcomes, each leader faced challenges related to governance, national identity, and economic stability in the post-Soviet context.

Most likely opponents of both Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin included hardline communists and conservative elements within the Soviet establishment. These opponents were resistant to the reforms and liberalization efforts initiated by Gorbachev, such as perestroika and glasnost, and later opposed Yeltsin's push for a market economy and political democracy. Additionally, nationalist movements in various Soviet republics also challenged their authority and policies, seeking greater autonomy or independence.
