Answer 2

Answer:

The policy of open discussion of political and social issues, which resulted in changes to the Soviet political structure.

Explanation:

The term glasnost is a Russian word that means "openness." It was used to describe one of Mikhail Gorbachev's policies of reform from the mid-1980s. Under this policy, the actions of the Soviet government were publicized, the people were allowed to criticize the government for the first time, and the media experienced less censorship. The result was a gradual weakening of the entire Soviet government as the Communist Party lost power.
