He was the last leader of the Soviet Union.

Explanation:

Gorbachev was the leader of th Soviet Union from 1985 as head of the communist party and from 1988 as President until the country dissolved in 1991.

His twin policies of glasnost (openness) and perestroika (economic restructuring) accelerated the process whereby communism collapsed in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union and led to the reconfiguration of these countries into what they are today.
