Answer 1

How did the Soviet Union suddenly disintegrate? Explain any six reasons.

Answers

Various reasons for the sudden disintegration of USSR:

a. The Communist Party had ruled the Soviet Union for over 70 years but was not

accountable to the people. Also, there were doubts of internal weakness of

Soviet political and economic institutions, which failed to meet people’s

expectations.

b. Stagnation took over the economy as much of the country’s resources were

used for maintaining nuclear and military arsenal and for developing its

satellite states in Eastern Europe and within the Soviet system. This resulted in

a huge economic burden.

c. Ordinary people were alienated by the slow administration and uncontrolled

corruption, the inability to correct mistakes made and the unwillingness of the

government to be more open to its people.

d. The party bureaucrats gained more privileges than the ordinary citizens.

e. The rise of nationalism and the need for sovereignty among various republics

such as Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine and Georgia added to the

cause of disintegration.

f. People did not identify with the system and with rulers, and thus, the

government lost popular backing.

All these factors are responsible for the stagnant administrative and political structure.
