official collapse of the USSR, the date of which fell on December 8, 1991, was issued on the territory of the Bialowieza Forest, and more specifically - in the estate Viskuli.Then the Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian leaders have signed the agreement under which created the Commonwealth of Independent States.A little later, December 21, they were joined by eight other former republics.Thus, the collapse of the Soviet Union took place over 69 years after its founding.
now unanimous opinion on the causes of the collapse of the Union does not exist.Some have suggested that this was due to the fall in oil prices on world markets, which was initiated by the US government.Others believe that this has resulted in the betrayal of Mikhail Gorbachev.Still others believe that what happened - the fruit of popular discontent authoritarian methods of governance in the country and the protracted socio-economic crisis.Distributed also felt that the collapse of the Soviet Union suffered because of the number of man-made disasters and military-political defeats the state.There have been other suggestions.
conspiracy theory today is very widespread.According to her, the collapse of one of the most powerful countries in the world occurred as a result of consistent and continuous operation of the intelligentsia, which was opposed to the state.Supporters another theory believe that it was triggered by the collapse of the American-Soviet Union.Gorbachev played a significant role in it, giving them a legitimate field of action of his "perestroika".This process of sincere conviction, was intended above all to change the ideological policy.Representatives of the Russian intelligentsia who spoke vanguard of a whole new, and were determined to radically focused on Western states.In the mid-eighties of the last century, these people in the activity sought to review the historical events, giving them a different meaning.For example, the socialist revolution of 1917 was named the coup.Many believed that they were right.
However, a lot of historians does not agree that the collapse of the USSR was initiated by external factors.At the conclusion of this suggests that the Soviet political elite since the mid-sixties, fewer believed in its official ideology and gradually turned into admirers of bourgeois values.Moreover, in dealing with various levels in all fields flourished "telephone law", graft and corruption.The Communist Party, many citizens joined not for ideological reasons, as before, but only in order not to lose the opportunity to make a career.All this, together with the fall in the population confidence in the socialist system of the state, could not subvert it from within.So this version has the right to exist.
So say for sure that one of these reasons is that, due to which there was a collapse of the USSR, is very difficult.Without a doubt, the answer to this question must be approached comprehensively.In other words, to the collapse of such a powerful state, it is likely to lead the collection of all the listed events.
