Glasnost, introduced by Mikhail Gorbachev in the mid-1980s, brought significant changes to the Soviet Union by promoting transparency, open discussion, and freedom of expression. It allowed citizens to criticize the government and discuss previously taboo subjects, leading to a greater awareness of social and political issues. This newfound openness contributed to a decline in censorship and the emergence of a more vibrant civil society, ultimately playing a role in the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.
