Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gorbachev's reforms, including glasnost and perestroika, led to increased freedom of expression and democratic reforms, which ultimately led to the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991. While there were some improvements in the standard of living and economic growth, these were not sustained and were overshadowed by political and social upheaval. Soviet control over member states was also weakened by the reforms, leading to increased demands for independence. There was not an era of prosperity in Eastern Europe as a result of Gorbachev's reforms.
