Mikhail Gorbachev, as the leader of the Soviet Union from 1985 to 1991, implemented significant reforms known as glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring) aimed at revitalizing the stagnant Soviet economy and increasing transparency in government. He eased restrictions on freedom of speech and the press, allowing for greater public discourse and criticism of the government. Gorbachev also played a crucial role in reducing Cold War tensions, leading to nuclear disarmament agreements with the United States and the eventual dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. His policies ultimately contributed to the end of Communist rule in Eastern Europe and the emergence of independent states.
