Answer:

Explanation:

Glasnost was a political reform in the Soviet Union that affected the freedom of speech and that of the press positively.

Glasnost was a political reform of openness and transparency in the government which was created in the 1980s by Gorbachev (President of the Soviet Union from 1985-1991). This political reform provided increased opportunities for freedom of speech, association and the members of the press in the Soviet Union.

Glasnost permitted people to be at ease and say what they have to say as well as what they truly feel.

During the period of Glasnot there was a release of political prisoners and one of those political prisoners was human rights campaigner Andrei Sakharov.

It was because of Glasnot that President Reagan of the United States of America resumed diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union.
