The emergence of Mikhail Gorbachev and his policies of glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring) helped to reduce tensions between the Soviet Union and the West, contributing to the eventual end of the Cold War. His willingness to engage in dialogue and arms reduction agreements with NATO led to a decrease in the perceived threat of nuclear conflict in Europe.
