Perestroika and Glasnost, introduced by Mikhail Gorbachev in the 1980s, aimed to reform the Soviet economy and increase transparency but ultimately exposed systemic weaknesses, leading to economic failures. These reforms contributed to a loss of control and rising nationalism within the Soviet republics, culminating in the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. The resulting economic turmoil and political instability sparked years of conflict and turmoil in the region, affecting the broader geopolitical landscape.
