The answer is Perestroika and Glasnost. Mikhail Gorbachev, the last leader of the Soviet Union, came to power in 1985 with a vision of reform. His plan for the future was led by two ideas: perestroika and glasnost. ... Gorbachev's reforms did more to hasten the fall of the Soviet Union than they did to save it.
