The unexpected result of Mikhail Gorbachev's reforms was that the Soviet Union fell apart. The reforms, such as glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring), aimed to modernize the Soviet Union's political and economic systems. However, they led to increased political, economic, and ethnic tensions, ultimately leading to the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. Stalin coming to power or voters electing Vladimir Putin were not outcomes directly related to Gorbachev's reforms.
