Mikhail Gorbachev and the end of Communism

The end of Communism was that Mikhail Gorbachev had actually let the people decide instead of him deciding. He opened the Union by something called a glasnost . It was something that encouraged the people to discuss the various ways to improve their society. They modernized it by allowing churches to reopen they released their ancestors and descendants from prison and also they had the reporters investigate their social and economic problems. But Gorbachev only solved the political system but the economy was still messed up. Perestroik resolved the economic system it made it a better way to live.
