Is there a harbinger of the disintegration of the Soviet Union? Or did the people feel that they were going to disintegrate a long time ago, or suddenly announced the disintegration after living a good life? First of all, during the Soviet period, people's living standards were not high. Although the developed heavy industry and the constant arms race boosted the gross domestic product, this phenomenon was concealed. However, this did not conform to the interests of the people and led to the dissatisfaction of the Soviet people. Secondly, the highly centralized political system lacks democracy, and the cadre class is inevitably becoming increasingly bureaucratic. Party cadres who claim to represent the interests of the people have gradually become a privileged class that opposes the interests of the people. When people increasingly feel that the privileged class runs counter to their own interests, the decline and disintegration of this political system is inevitable.

In addition, the Soviet Union began to implement the new economic policy from 1922, and Lenin reformed the wartime production policy, placing more emphasis on developing inner-party democracy. However, since 1926 Stalin came to power, a highly centralized political and economic system has been formed. Although the Soviet Union realized industrialization under this system, by the 1960s, its disadvantages were increasingly exposed, which hindered the development of the Soviet Union. Subsequently, Khrushchev and Brezhnev successively carried out reforms, but their reforms were only minor repairs to the original system and did not fundamentally change the highly centralized political and economic system.

In addition, Russia has also expanded abroad many times in history and conquered a series of other nationalities. After the October Revolution in Russia, it was once recognized that all ethnic groups had the right to self-determination, but the Soviet Union later adopted the route of external expansion. From 19 19 to 1944, it was successively merged into independent countries such as Shiva Khan, Bukhara Khan, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Tuva People's Republic. During the Soviet period, the Russian policy was pursued, nationalism was suppressed as the opposite of Soviet and socialism, political, cultural and economic elites of all ethnic groups were executed, and national language, culture and national consciousness were destroyed. During and after the Second World War, the Soviet Union also carried out brutal ethnic cleansing and emigration to ethnic minorities such as Poles, Finns, Estonians, Latvians, Lithuanians, Volga Germans, Crimean Tatars, Kalmyks, Chechens, Ingushetia and Far East Koreans.

In addition, the Soviet Union committed many crimes against its own people and other countries, such as the exile and slaughter of the "rich peasants" class during the period of agricultural collectivization, the massacre of party member, intellectuals, soldiers and other innocent people during the Great Cleansing, and the Katyn incident of collective execution of Polish officers. With the process of "openness", these crimes were gradually made public, which had a great ideological impact on the Soviet people and deepened the dissatisfaction of the people of all ethnic groups.

Gorbachev's "New Thoughts on Reform" attempts to fundamentally rebuild socialist values and political system, completely abandon the political system legacy left by Stalinism, and establish humane and democratic socialism. The sudden release of the atmosphere of public opinion makes the public at a loss and is easily captured by extreme thoughts. Under this background, the former Soviet Union, represented by Yeltsin, joined hands with the United States to try to lead the reform to its own advantage, thus contributing to the disintegration of the Soviet Union.
