Glasnost, or the policy of openness introduced by Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, allowed for greater freedom of speech and expression for Soviet citizens. This led to people being able to openly criticize the government and express their frustrations with the system. This contributed to a growing sense of discontent and dissent among the Soviet population, ultimately leading to the break-up of the Soviet Union.
