Russia instituted perestroika and glasnost in the mid-1980s under Mikhail Gorbachev to address the stagnation of the Soviet economy and the increasing demand for political reform. Perestroika aimed to restructure the economy by introducing market-like reforms and decentralizing control, while glasnost sought to promote transparency and openness in government, allowing for more freedom of expression and political discourse. These policies were intended to revitalize the Soviet system but ultimately contributed to its dissolution by exposing deep-seated issues and fostering demands for greater autonomy and reform across the Soviet republics.
Gorbachev pursued perestroika because it was also known as the end of the Communist Era, when he abolished Communism in Russia. Glasnost was pursued to further open up the political system in Russia.
Perestroika and Glasnost were attempted by Mikhail Gorbachev to change Soviet Union from Communist to Democratic rule.
