"but all that freedom had a huge price."

Also, you need to state what that price was/is.

Answer 1

You are correct, there was a significant price to pay for the freedom and democracy that came with Gorbachev's political initiatives. The price was the struggle that Russia faced in trying to build a democratic political system and market economy after the collapse of the Soviet Union. This transition was challenging and had many consequences, including economic hardships and political instability. Russia had to undergo major reforms and adjustments in order to adapt to a new political and economic system. These changes did not happen smoothly and have led to ongoing difficulties in establishing a stable and prosperous Russia.
