Explanation:

The policy of glasnost was a political slogan established in 1986 by Mikhail Gorbachev. He had the idea of establishing it because he wanted to promote some policies to help decreasing corruption that existed in the Communist Party and at the same time in the Soviet government. Another aspect that he wanted to improve was the abuse of power concerning the Central Committee.

The period in which the policy of glasnost was created was known as the "Era of Glasnost" and this "era" had a lot of influence between citizens who belonged to the Soviet Union and the United States. Thus, most restrictions about travels were abolished and in this way, there was an improvement in terms of cultural exchange.
