Speaking about the Soviet Union, it is necessary to point out that it was quite a difficult period in the history of the state.That is why the reasons for his split so diverse.
But still, why there was a collapse of the USSR and the formation of the CIS?This is due to many of the following events:
1. Social and economic crisis, which arose as a result of rupture of economic ties between the republics, there were ethnic conflicts, which contributed to the destruction of the Soviet system.
So, in 1988, the Baltic States, Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia are heading for a way out of the Soviet Union.In the same year begins the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict.And in 1990, all proclaim the sovereignty of the republic.
2. The collapse of the Communist Party, which was the reason for the creation of a multiparty system in 90-91 years, in turn acting parties proposed to dissolve the Union.
collapse of the USSR and the formation of the CIS was also due to the fact that the Union center, unable to hold on to power democratically, using military force (in Tbilisi, Baku, Riga, Vilnius and Moscow, as well as in Dushanbe, Fergana and others.).All these developments also contributed to the creation of a threat to the Union Treaty, the development of which took place in Novo-Ogaryovo by the representatives of the republics.
discussion ended contract vote, in which most of those present was in favor of preserving the Soviet Union.According to the new draft foresaw the collapse of the Soviet Union and the creation of CCV, that is of equal sovereign republics.Signing the agreement was scheduled for 20 August 1991, but many of the republic refused to do so and informed about the creation of independent states.
Many individuals who at the time held high-ranking positions in the Soviet Union, Gorbachev AL advised to install a state of emergency in the country, but he refused.Most of the state management made an attempt to seize power, she did not admit that there was a collapse of the USSR and the formation of the CIS.However, the coup attempt failed because the masses of the people to defend their political freedoms.
This fact contributed to the acceleration of the split Union, Gorbachev had lost credibility and Yeltsin gained popularity.Soon eight republics declared their independence.
eighth December Union treaty ceased to exist, with the Ukraine, Belarus and Russia in the negotiations to reach agreement on the creation of the CIS, then they invited other states to join in this Commonwealth.
collapse of the USSR and the formation of the CIS has opened up new opportunities for the former republics.It signed a lot of contracts between independent states (collective security, on the settlement of integration in various areas of cooperation and partnership, the creation of a single financial space).Thus, for the entire period of existence of the CIS it was signed more than nine legal acts with regards to defense, security, open borders, and more.
If we consider the consequences of the collapse of the USSR, the following should be noted:
1. The world has become a single economic, political and information system.
2. A large number of new states and the republics that were previously among themselves the most cruel war.
3. US and NATO countries begin to cooperate with the former republics.
Thus, the fall of the Soviet Union had a number of reasons, it was inevitable.Subsequently, instead of the republics were independent state with its economy, politics, culture and quality of life.Although there are negative consequences of the Commonwealth of Independent States, the overall expression of the will of the masses has been heard and achieved.
