Mikhail Gorbachev's resignation on December 25, 1991, marked the formal end of the Soviet Union, a pivotal moment in global history. His departure symbolized the collapse of communist rule in Eastern Europe and the dissolution of a superpower that had dominated global politics for decades. Gorbachev's policies of glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring) had aimed to reform the Soviet system but ultimately contributed to its downfall, leading to newfound independence for several former Soviet republics. His resignation also heralded a shift towards capitalism and democratic governance in the region.
