Explanation:

Mikhail Gorbachev changed the course of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe in multiple ways. His major policy change was the "Perestroika" reforms (which translates to English as restructuring) and these reforms included a policy of "Glasnost" which means openness. Glasnost allowed for the creation of multiple opposition newspapers, magazines and news broadcast that openly criticized the government, as well as bringing the right of freedom of criticism to the people. Secondly in this Perestroika reforms came " khozraschyot" or "Commercalizeation", which was a limited expansion of free-market business reforms that allowed some people to privately own their own businesses. This was a major change as the basis for the Soviet Union was a socialist economy where the means of production were commonly owned. The third and final change was the opening of relations with the United States and Western Europe. Mikhail Gorbachev sought to end the cold war by standing down large amounts of the military, as well as meeting with President Ronald Reagan.
