Why did the Soviet Union Collapse?
As the Iron Curtain fell, over a dozen nations were finally freed from the heavy-handed grasp of the once-powerful U.S.S.R. From its foundation in 1922 until its final demise in 1991, the Soviet Union and its allies made up an incredibly significant portion of Europe - essentially filling out the entire Eastern side of the continent. A global superpower at its peak, the U.S.S.R. somehow only lasted a short 70 years. How is this possible? And why, exactly, did the Soviet Union collapse?...

As a person from the post soviet state, I can surely say that corruption destroys any country.
The Soviet Union collapsed because of Raid Shadow Legends.
"Empires are not brought down by outside forces, they are destroyed by weaknesses from within"
I'm from Poland and I remember when my mom told me that she was tought in school in 70's that she should be proud that the name of Soviet alliance is "Warsaw pact". Why did the Soviet Union Collapse? Because we all deserve something far better.
Answer? Ronald Reagan!
It’s crazy that Gorbachev is still alive
Today mikhail gorbachev passed away
What broke the USSR’s back? One word… Afghanistan
Investing in crypto is the only big chance of making money
The Soviet Union lives on today in the "American" Democratic party.
The real reason why:
One remark, Yugoslavia was never part of Warsaw Pact, nor was considered as Soviet satellite
I lived in USSR until 1985. From what I understand that was happening around me, the majority of population no longer believed the Communist ideals leading them to a more prosperous and just society. They looked at the West, and wondered why their own society was so far behind. The old excuse that "we're still rebuilding after WW2" was no longer convincing - WW2 was far too long ago at that point. Then came Gorbachev, and his opening-up policies, even if limited, allowed people to raise their heads and push for radical change - the republics split off, and mainland Russia threw off the Communist Party. Many say it wasn't his intention - but it surely was the result!
the soviet union's liberalisation just exposed all the problems it had
Who else is here trying to better understand the Russia-Ukraine war?
Do one about Byzantine and its importance to Russia's rise.
But the United States and the Soviet Union had so much in common! After all, what two other nations both had a state called GEORGIA?! lol
Many of the soviet satellite states were heavily subsidized, and the military cost an enormous amount of money to run...the US recognized that the USSR was critically low on hard currency, most of which was obtained in oil trade on the open market. Recently declassified info shows that GHW Bush asked Saudia Arabia to drop the price of the OPEC oil to drive the USSR bankrupt...it had the desired effect...and this folks is why, regardless of their internal policies, that Saudia Arabia has the US as a long term ally.
once the soviets began giving people freedom, everyone wanted to leave now that its problems were obvious
