Explanation

The matching is based on key facts from the chapter: Gorbachev initiated policies of economic and political reform and democratisation within the USSR.

Russia emerged as the successor state after the disintegration of the USSR. Boris Yeltsin became the President of Russia following the collapse. The Warsaw Pact was the military alliance started by the USSR, as referenced in the fill-in-the-blanks exercise.
