Why did the policies of glasnost and perestroika in the soviet union change the way ronald reagan interacted with that nation?

The correct answer is D) The policies showed Reagan that the socialist state was being reformed to a more democratic nation.

The policies of glasnost and perestroika helped to decrease government control over the Soviet society. Before these policies, media outlets were often controlled by the government and could not speak out against them. Under these new policies, reporters had the freedom to write what they wanted about world events and events within the Soviet Union without the government censoring their writing.
