Solution

Gorbachev's role in Soviet system reform: Gorbachev proposes the ideas of 'perestroika' and 'glasnost' to restructure the beleaguered Soviet Union and bring democratisation to the Communist Party.

(i) Perestroika refers to the Communist Party's restructuring of the political and economic system in order to jumpstart the Soviet Union's stagnating economy in the 1980s. However, the speed with which these reforms were implemented, together with mounting instability within and without the Soviet Union, contributed to its demise.
(ii) Glasnost (Openness) was Gorbachev's strategy of encouraging open discussion of political and social issues in order to improve the Soviet system's efficacy through constructive criticism and open communication.
(iii) Peace with the West: Gorbachev also tried to bring the cold war to an end and normalise relations with the West. He met with US President Barack Obama and signed the INF Treaty on Nuclear Weapons.He also ended the Soviet-Afghanistan war by removing Soviet forces from Afghanistan.

"Reforms' Consequences:
(i)Gorbachev vowed to restructure the economy and bring the Soviet Union up to speed with the West, but the Soviet Union fell apart. The most basic reason could be that when he implemented his reforms, he put in motion uncontrollable forces and expectations that were nearly difficult to manage.
(ii) Some people in society believed Gorbachev's reforms did not benefit them as much as they had hoped. Members of the communist party, on the other hand, felt that their rights and advantages were disappearing. Gorbachev lost support from all sides as a result.
(iii) His reforms sparked nationalism and a desire for sovereignty in a number of republics, including Russia and the Baltic republics (Estonia, Latina, Lithuania), Ukraine, and others, leading to the Soviet Union's breakup."
