After the disintegration of the Soviet Union

There are many reasons for the disintegration of the Soviet Union, but so far historians all over the world have failed to give a complete and thorough explanation of the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Based on the principle of being responsible for history, we can roughly explain the following main reasons for the disintegration of the Soviet Union:

A highly centralized political and economic system.

1936, the eighth Soviet congress of the Soviet union adopted the second constitution of the Soviet union and declared the Soviet union a socialist country of workers and peasants led by Soviet communist party, thus establishing a highly centralized political and economic system.

This highly centralized political and economic system is embodied in the following aspects: managing the economy by administrative orders, denying the law of value and excluding commodities and markets; Politically, power is highly centralized, party and government are not divided, mass supervision is lacking, and democracy and the legal system are ignored.

This system was formed under the dual conditions of external imperialism and internal economic and cultural backwardness. It has many disadvantages, such as low economic benefits and lack of socialist democracy, which leads to the shortage of consumer goods in the market, affects the improvement of people's living standards, and ultimately weakens people's enthusiasm for building socialism.

The extreme performance of this system is the big cleaning movement of 1935- 1938. This purge made the Soviet Union lack a large number of military talents, so the Soviet Union was always at a disadvantage in the early stage of the Soviet-German battlefield in World War II. This also makes us clearly realize the importance of socialist democracy and legal system)

Second, the contradiction of long-term backlog.

The Soviet Union is a multi-ethnic country, but its handling of ethnic relations is not satisfactory. Typical is the way the Soviet Union handled the Jewish issue.

After the reform of Khrushchev and Brezhnev, the Soviet Union still did not make a big breakthrough in economy, and the people's living standards were not improved for a long time, while the economies of western European countries developed greatly and the people's living standards were greatly improved at the same time. This is also the reason why Soviet citizens fled to the Federal Republic of Germany via Czechoslovakia.

Bureaucracy also led to the contradiction between the Soviet government and the people. It can be said that the separation of the Soviet Union from the people is a major reason for the disintegration of the Soviet Union.

Third, Gorbachev's failed reform.

Gorbachev was elected General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union in 1985. He proposed to replace scientific socialism with "democratic socialism", advocated "democratization" and "openness", totally denied the history of the Soviet Union, and even the October Revolution had the consequences of vilifying the * * * production party and socialism. The people of the Soviet Union are extremely chaotic, and various social contradictions always erupt. This series of consequences led to the turmoil in the Soviet Union in 1990, and the Soviet Union lost its leading position and even had to be dissolved after the 8 19 incident. Countries that joined the Soviet Union also began to separate, which eventually led to the complete disintegration of the Soviet Union. This is the direct cause of the disintegration of the Soviet Union.

Gorbachev's reform has also affected eastern European countries, and it has also become the cause of drastic changes in eastern European countries.

Fourth, the "peaceful evolution" strategy of western capitalist countries.

Churchill's 1946 Iron Curtain Speech kicked off the Cold War. In order to contain the Soviet Union, the United States implemented the Marshall Plan to help Europe develop, fought against the Soviet Union, and also implemented the strategy of peaceful evolution in an attempt to "change color" the socialist countries in Eastern Europe without fighting. This became the external cause of the disintegration of the Soviet Union.

The disintegration of the Soviet Union led to the end of the bipolar pattern, and the United States became the only superpower, which increased the instability of the international order. This also made the international proletarian movement fall into a low tide for the second time since the failure of the Paris Commune.

With the sharp basic contradictions in capitalist society, many people clearly realize the greatness of * * * productism, so more and more countries' * * production parties or left-wing workers' parties came to power to become the ruling party, so the international * * * productism movement has warmed up recently. )

The former Soviet countries that are still socialist now are: Belarus (the public sector accounts for the vast majority of the economy) and Moldova (the production party is in power+the public sector).

Being responsible for history means that we need to look at the disintegration of the Soviet Union objectively, and don't judge the reasons for the disintegration of the Soviet Union just by someone's individual remarks. We need to seriously sum up history and comprehensively evaluate the disintegration of the Soviet Union. This introduction is not the whole reason for the disintegration of the Soviet Union, but only as a reference for friends to understand the main reasons for the disintegration of the Soviet Union. The exploration of the disintegration of the Soviet Union needs to give historians time.

The constant infiltration of the CIS by western countries is also the fear of former Soviet countries. Some ideologies in Soviet countries are still very different from those in the West. For example, Belarus still has a strong "socialist color" in the national economic system.

The disintegration of the Soviet Union took place on199165438+February 25th, marked by the announcement of the resignation of Soviet President Gorbachev, ending the Soviet Union which had been established for more than 70 years.

199 1 09 On August 19, the conservatives in the Soviet Union launched an unsuccessful coup, trying to take back the power entrusted to join the Soviet Union and terminate the unsuccessful economic reform. However, under the common opposition of the people, the army and most Soviet party member, the coup failed after only three days. Russian President Yeltsin ordered the Soviet Union to be declared an illegal organization and restricted its activities in the Soviet Union. 199 1 At the end of the year, he signed a contract with the presidents of Belarus and Ukraine in Minsk, the capital of Belarus, to establish the Commonwealth of Independent States and replace the Soviet Union with a structure similar to that of the Commonwealth. Other Soviet countries responded one after another, leaving the Soviet Union, which had existed in name only at this time. 19911On February 25th, Soviet President Gorbachev announced his resignation and handed over state power to Russian President. The Soviet Union officially disintegrated. According to the law, the official time for the disintegration of the Soviet Union should be 26th, when the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union announced the disintegration of the Soviet Union. )
