Gorbachev's program of economic reforms was known as "perestroika," which means "restructuring" in Russian. Launched in the mid-1980s, perestroika aimed to transition the Soviet economy from a centralized, state-controlled system to a more market-oriented one, introducing elements of private enterprise and decentralization. The reforms sought to increase efficiency and productivity, but they faced significant challenges and ultimately contributed to the economic turmoil that accompanied the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

The policies of Brezhnev, characterized by a period of stability and limited reform known as "stagnation," led to economic inefficiencies and a lack of innovation in the Soviet Union. In contrast, Gorbachev's reforms, including Glasnost and Perestroika, aimed to introduce transparency and economic restructuring; however, they ultimately destabilized the existing system and contributed to the dissolution of the Soviet Union. While Gorbachev's intentions were to revitalize the economy and democratize society, the lack of a coherent strategy and resistance from entrenched interests rendered his policies largely ineffective in achieving their goals. Overall, both leaders' policies reflect the challenges of adapting Soviet governance to changing social and economic realities.
Mikhail Gorbachev's two main reforms in the USSR were known as "glasnost" and "perestroika." Glasnost, meaning "openness," aimed to increase transparency and freedom of expression within the government and society. Perestroika, meaning "restructuring," focused on reforming the economy and political system to improve efficiency and encourage more market-oriented practices. Together, these reforms aimed to revitalize the Soviet Union but ultimately contributed to its dissolution.

Last leader of the Soviet Union. Gorbachev assumed control in 1985 and ushered in a period of reforms known as glasnost and perestroika. On four occasions, he met U.S. president Ronald Reagan to negotiate arms reduction treaties and other measures to thaw the Cold War. In 1991, after surviving a failed military coup against him, he dissolved the Soviet Union and disbanded the Communist Party.
False. The Soviet Union underwent a forced transformation from an agricultural to industrial economy 60 years before Gorbachev - under Stalin. Read all about it on Wiki Answers. Gorbachev is known for quite a different transformation of Russia: from an administrative command economic system and totalitarian society (loosely referred to as Communist) to a democratic society and market economy.
