By allowing citizens to speak openly, people could express their frustrations. This led to increased dissent and demands for change within the Soviet Union. The openness and transparency of glasnost brought to light the systemic issues and corruption within the government, leading to a loss of confidence in the ruling regime. As a result, various Soviet republics started pushing for independence, ultimately contributing to the break-up of the Soviet Union.
