The statement that best describes the effects of glasnost and perestroika on Soviet life is:
**They allowed for greater economic, political, and cultural freedom than before.**
Glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring) were policies introduced by Mikhail Gorbachev in the late 1980s, aimed at reforming the Soviet system. Glasnost encouraged more open discussion of political and social issues and led to a degree of political liberalization, while perestroika aimed to reform the economy by introducing some market-like reforms and reducing the state's control over various sectors. Together, these policies fostered an environment of increased freedom compared to the previously more restrictive Soviet regime.
