Well Glasnost is the policy of maximal publicity, openness, and transparency in the activities of all government institutions in the Soviet Union.  It was allowed by Mikhail Gorbachev.  It allowed national feeling for the nations under annex of the Soviet Union that lead to many countries to assert there right to be independent nations.

Perestroika is a Russian term for the economic reforms introduced in 1987 by Mikhail Gorbachev.  This allowed private ownership of business in services manufacturing and foreign trade. The Perestroika however destroyed the economy of the Soviet Union and in 1991 the Union disbanded which allowed the nations of the Soviet Republics to gain there independence.
