Mikhail Gorbachev and the end of Communism

Mikhail Gorbachev opened up the Soviet Union and paved the way for the end of Communism by opening the soviet citizens to help out with their society. He started a thin called glasnost which means opening to help the citizens to open themselves and to be more comfortable with their leader and not be scared. Perestroika means economic restructuring. This helped change the government and it killed the communism in Russia.
