Why did the Soviet Union collapse in 1991? The collapse of the
Soviet Union has widely been seen as the result of the arms race
and Cold War, and the failure of the Soviet side to keep pace with
new technology. This book argues that the disintegration was mainly
a result of two interrelated factors: the rise of the Soviet
national republics, and the manipulation of the new Russian
presidency by Boris Yeltsin in what became a direct power struggle
between Yeltsin and the Soviet leader, Gorbachev. Written in a
clear and accessible manner, the book provides: an explanation of
how the national question came to dominate Soviet politics by
1990-1 analysis of the economic crisis that occurred in the late
1980s a chapter devoted to the year 1991, from the referendum to
reform the Soviet Union to the unforeseen dissolution of the
country by December a discussion of the personalities of and
political confrontation between the two key statesman: Gorbachev
and Yeltsin Also containing a Chronology, Glossary and Who's Who of
key figures, The Collapse of the Soviet Union is essential reading
for students of twentieth century European history.
