'In reality, the end of the cold war and the fall of the Soviet Union were primarily the work of Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev — two consequences of his radically reformist policies (the former intended, the latter unintended).'

Anyone alive at that time should know the truth of this. What #gorbachev achieved was incredible. He turned the tide to help loosen the rules and allow conquered USSR vassal.countries to run their own affairs.
But too many party members and officials lost their nasty little Soviet domination powers and worked towards his downfall.

It was completely ruined by his self indulgent successor #Yeltsin who was influenced by extreme pursuit of capitalist wealth, suck-up oligarchs and then developed #TrumpSyndrome, by behaving like a Tsar with authoritarian policies.
Then to cap it all, Yeltsin appointed #Putin as his successor and it all wrnt to hell again.
