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.
