You have learned about the rise and fall of the soviet union and its influence in europe. who or what was responsible for the end of communism in europe?

The person that was responsible for the end of communism in Europe was Mikhail Gorbachev, due to his policies of perestroika and glasnost in the 1980s.

Explanation:

In 1991 the Soviet Union, which was the superpower of the communist bloc, collapsed economically and territorially due to the reforms (Perestroika) carried out by Mikhail Gorbachev in view of the economic collapse of the Soviet Union which consisted in quickly moving from an economy planned socialist to become a free-market economy similar to China, which was opposed by the most conservative part of the Communist Party. This rapid transition attempt provoked the dislocation of the entire industrial and agricultural fabric of the USSR, the country was virtually paralyzed, inflation soared and poverty increased and the ensuing social protests were channeled through nationalism.
