Mikhail Gorbachev and the end of Communism

Mikhail Gorbachev opened up the Soviet Union by adding more churches. He wanted people to talk about their society and what can they do to make it better. Mikhail Gorbachev made this idea called glasnost. This idea was made in the year 1985 which means openness. Mikhail wanted his people to come together and open about their society.

Another idea Mikhail Gorbachev created was called peristrokia. This idea was based on the economic system. Managers could finally take over their farms and factories. Also many people could make their own business. This is how the Soviet Union had become a better place.
