Retry Correct Incorrect According to Time, Perestroika means “restructuring” and was a policy intended to modernize the Soviet Union by including features of a market economy and making outside goods easier to purchase. As for Glasnost, this meant “openness” and referred to a loosening of state censorship to encourage open sharing of information. As Mikhail Gorbachev described the latter, “Those who attempt to suppress the fresh voice, the just voice, according to old standards and attitudes, need to get out of the way.”
