Mikhail Gorbachev was the leader of the Soviet Union from 1985 to 1991. In 1989, he implemented economic reforms hoping to improve the Soviet economy but instead caused shortages. That same year, communist governments fell across Eastern Europe as countries like Poland, Hungary, East Germany, Bulgaria, and Czechoslovakia experienced peaceful revolutions calling for democracy. The Berlin Wall fell in November 1989 as East Germans were allowed to travel to West Berlin.
Milestones: 1989–1992
Fall of Communism in Eastern Europe, 1989
On November 9, 1989, thousands of jubilant Germans brought down the most visible symbol of division at the heart of Europe—the Berlin Wall. For two generations, the Wall was the physical representation of the Iron Curtain, and East German border guards had standing shoot-to-kill orders against those who tried to escape. But just as the Wall had come to represent the division of Europe, its fall came to represent the end of the Cold War. In the White House, President George H. W. Bush and his National Security Advisor, Brent Scowcroft, watched the unfolding scene on a television in the study, aware of both the historical significance of the moment and of the challenges for U.S. foreign policy that lay ahead.

PERESTROIKA, GLASNOST, AND GORBACHEV
What I want you to know: Mikhail Gorbachev is remembered in Soviet history as the man that nailed the first nail in the coffin of Soviet Socialism. His ideas for reform of the Soviet Union’s economy and society were radical in the mid-’80s. He felt that he could somehow improve the Soviet Union and revive its ailing economy. He had no idea that what he started would end the Soviet Union instead of saving it.
I. Mikhail Sergeevich Gorbachev
Born March 2, 1931, in Privolnye in Southern Russia
Became a Party Boss in the Stavropol krai and by 1985 had become General Secretary of the CPSU
1986, influenced by Yuri Andropov’s attempts at reform, Gorbachev began his period of political openness (Glasnost’) and economic “Perestroika” (restructuring) intended to modernize the USSR and “democratization” the Soviet Government
1990: Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his reform efforts.
1991: Removed from office in the August Coup and replaced by Boris Yeltsin.
Today, Gorbachev gives many speeches worldwide and is very busy with humanitarian groups. He founded the Green Cross an international organization that is concerned about preserving the Earth’s environment. He still lives in Moscow.
II. GLASNOST’
1986 Gorbachev un-cuffed the press and no longer censored & punished journalists for openly criticizing the government, economy, and political officials.
Dissidents were released from prison. Andrei Sakharov, a prominent Physicist who was arrested on the streets of Moscow and deported to Gorky for protesting the Soviet’s involvement in Afghanistan, was released in 1986.
Banned literature, art, and music were legalized again. Solzhenitsen’s “A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich”, Akhamatova, Pasternak. Now the Soviets could again enjoy the fruits of their famous artists.
Peaceful protests were allowed in the streets. (Tatars in Red Square).
Religion became tolerated again and believers were no longer persecuted.
History, crimes, and mistakes of the Government were revealed. (Stalin, nuclear testing, accidents) So much was being revealed that in 1988, the school history exams were canceled because the Soviet people were only then learning the “real” history.
Chernobyl accident became a watershed. Four days went by before the Soviets admitted to their neighbors that there had been an accident. After that, the Soviets came clean and kept the rest of the world informed about it.
The facts were coming out and the Soviets were demanding more and more. The press began openly printing, with names, negative information re: Govt. etc.
III. PERESTROIKA= “RESTRUCTURING” Gorbachev wanted to revive the sagging Soviet rate of industrial and agricultural output with a two-pronged approach:
1. Psychological: needed to improve worker discipline.
Number one problem: Alcoholism Began a major crackdown on alcohol. The sale o ...

“He has decided that he would risk his power in order to save his reforms, rather than risk his reforms to save his power.”

Women have three distinct types of involvement: direct involvement in terrorist acts; enabling of others to commit such acts; and facilitating the disengagement of others from violent or extremist groups.
In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

1. Mikhail Gorbachev & 1989: Year of Revolutions Sebastian Plester Giraldo Santiago Villegas Giraldo Alejandro Montoya Morales
2. Mikhail Gorbachev was born on March 2nd of 1931 in the village of Privolnoye, Krasnogvardeisky District, Stavropol Territory, in the south of the Russian republic. He had a very tough childhood under the Totalitarian government of Joseph Stalin. He saw tough times during the World War II, during which Stavropol (USSR – now-a-days Russia) was occupied by German troops in 1942. Mikhail Gorbachev
3. After leaving school at the age of 16, he was awarded the ‘Order of the Red Banner of Labor’ in 1947. This helped him to gain a place at the Moscow University in 1950, where he studied law. While in Moscow, he became a candidate member of the Communist Party of Soviet Union in the same year. Later, he became First party Secretary of the Stavropol Kraikom position. In 1974, he was made a representative to the Supreme Soviet Court and the Chairman of the Standing Commission on Youth Affairs. His political career moved upward very fast.
4. Mikhail Gorbachev was elected general secretary of the Communist Party on 11th March 1985, and during the period of 1985 to 1989 he implemented several economic reforms that, he hoped, would improve the country economy and working productivity. Five years after being elected as the general secretary, on 15th March 1990, Gorbachev was elected as the first executive President of the Soviet Union. While Gorbachev’s political initiatives were positive for freedom and democracy of the Soviet Union, the economic policy of his government brought the country close to disaster. By the end of 1980s, there were shortages of basic food supplies that led to a limited supply of food distributed to citizens. He also had to deal with nuclear weapons issues, specially negotiating with the United States. The USSR, under the lead of Gorbachev, gained recognition as a powerhouse and Superpower, along with USA.
5. 1989: Year of Revolutions Many countries in Eastern Europe were under control of the Soviet Union since 1945. In 1989, the USSR decided that they would never again use force to control these countries. People were tired of communism and by the end of that year it collapsed in Eastern Europe because of all the revolutions developed in this zone. There were revolutions in Hungary, Poland, East Germany (Berlin), Bulgaria and Czechoslovakia.

7. Poland In April 1989, the trade union Solidarity was again legalized and allowed to participate in parliamentary elections on June 4, 1989. The victory of Solidarity surpassed all predictions. Solidarity candidates captured all the seats they were allowed to compete for in the Sejm, while in the Senate they captured 99 out of the 100 available seats. A new non-Communist government, the first of its kind in the former Eastern Bloc, was sworn into office in September 1989.
