Glasnost, or the policy of openness, was intended to promote transparency and openness in government in the Soviet Union. However, it had the unintended consequence of fueling nationalist movements in non-Russian areas of the Soviet Union who accused the central government of exploiting their resources and suppressing their cultures. This ultimately led to the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Private entrepreneurial activity did occur as a result of glasnost, but it did not result in an industrial revolution. The aging conservative establishment of the Soviet Communist Party was weakened by glasnost and ultimately collapsed with the fall of the Soviet Union. The Soviet model of communism did not gain worldwide acceptance and was not adopted by non-communist countries.
