The Collapse of the Soviet Union Explained in 3 Minutes

Описание: Reading into the economic causes of the collapse of the USSR is without a doubt one of the most interesting things I have read about in ages.

In this short explainer video, we're going to share with you the summary as to what brought about the collapse of the Soviet Union and highlight the Soviet Union countries and their quest for independence.

The collapse of the Soviet Union began in the late 1980s. It continued until the country was divided into 15 independent states. This was finalized on the 25th of December 1991, and signalled the end of what was referred to as the biggest conflict between the Soviet Union and the US.

In 1985 Mikhail Gorbachev became the General Secretary of the Soviet Union. The economy was in a very bad shape back then. Gorbachev’s main aim was to reform the economy as well as modernize the political situation and achieve improvements along the way. During this period of reform there were two main platforms, the Glasnost and the Perestroika.
