The collapse of the USSR is one of the most important events of the 20th century. Until now, the significance and reasons for the collapse of the Union have caused heated debate and various kinds of disputes among political scientists and ordinary people.
The reasons for the collapse of the USSR
Initially, the highest ranks of the world's largest state planned to preserve the Soviet Union. To do this, they had to take timely measures to reform it, but in the end, the collapse occurred. There are various versions that convey in sufficient detail possible reasons. For example, researchers believe that initially, when the state was created, it should have become completely and completely federal, but over time, the USSR turned into a unitary state and this gave rise to a series of problems of inter-republican and interethnic relations, which were not given due attention.
During the years of perestroika, the situation became pretty tense and became extremely dangerous. In the meantime, conflicting views became increasingly widespread, economic difficulties became insurmountable, and it became clear that collapse could not be avoided. It is also worth noting that in those days the Communist Party played an important role in the life of the state, which even in a sense was a more significant carrier of power than the state itself. It was the crisis that happened in the Communist system of the state that became one of the reasons why the Soviet Union collapsed.
