Two key Russian policies that helped end the Cold War were Mikhail Gorbachev's policies of glasnost and perestroika. Glasnost, or "openness," encouraged greater transparency and freedom of expression within the Soviet Union, while perestroika, or "restructuring," aimed to revitalize the economy through reform and decentralization. These policies led to a reduction in state control, increased political dialogue, and ultimately contributed to the dissolution of Soviet influence in Eastern Europe and the end of the Cold War.
