Mikhail Gorbachev led the Soviet Union during its final years (1985-1991), implementing reformist policies of glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring) that fundamentally altered the Cold War landscape. His leadership coincided with massive political changes across Eastern Europe as Soviet satellite states gained independence and the Berlin Wall fell in 1989.

His tenure represents a pivotal transition period from the bipolar Cold War world to the post-Soviet international order.
