The Impact of Gorbachev on the Soviet Union and Russia

Faced with a country rapidly losing ground to the West in economic output and military strength, Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev embarked on a radical program to transform his country and its relations with Cold War adversaries. He instituted many policies that fell under two broad categories:
perestroika, a restructuring of the economy along free-market principles in order to increase output; and glasnost, a substantial increase of civil liberties such as freedom of speech and press, and also the implementation of competitive elections. Investigate the changes in the USSR instigated by Gorbachev or that he felt compelled to make by developing circumstances. What motivated Gorbachev? What impact did his policies have?
