The economical programme pioneered by Mikhail Gorbachev in 1986, including social reform in the name of glasnost, allowing more economical and political freedoms to the Soviet populace. As populary mentioned, this programme was not the cause of the collapse of the already weakened Soviet Union but merely a catalyst for that inevitable event.
