The disintegration of the Soviet Union (Russian: распдсср, English: the disintegration of the Soviet Union) generally refers to 199 1 year 65438+February 25th. That night, the Soviet flag was slowly lowered from the Kremlin, the Soviet Socialist International League was dissolved, and the international capitalist movement suffered a major setback, marking the end of the bipolar pattern of the Cold War.
Since 199 1, many political and academic circles at home and abroad have investigated and studied the causes, influences and consequences of the drastic changes in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe from many angles. There are many published works and papers with different views. Generally speaking, there are mainly the following viewpoints: in theory, dogmatism is confined, thinking is rigid, and it is only scripted and divorced from the national conditions; In the political field, a highly centralized political system has been implemented for a long time, the construction of socialist democracy and legal system has been neglected, bureaucracy is prevalent, and it is seriously divorced from the masses; In terms of economic development, the planned economic system dominates the whole country, the economic structure is seriously unbalanced, the heavy industry, especially the national defense industry, develops unilaterally, the income distribution is egalitarian for a long time, and the improvement of people's lives is very slow; In foreign relations, they engage in hegemonism of big countries, interfere in the internal affairs of other socialist countries, expand their forces in an all-round way to prepare for war, compete with the United States for hegemony, consume and weaken their own strength, and so on. Due to ideological reasons, the Soviet Union did not recognize private property and did not respect and protect all private property and civil rights, which violated the development trend of international historical civilization.
