This year marks the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Soviet Union. On 25 December 1991, the then president of the USSR, Mikhail Gorbachev, addressed the nation announcing three things: his resignation, the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and the end of communism.
Soviet communism did not fall because of outside interference but because of its leaders' own decision. After several attempts to modernize it, Gorvachev ended up abandoning all hope. For many, the failure of communism was to be expected. However, up until that moment the Soviet Union had been one of the greatest superpowers in the world. How is it possible that it collapsed in this way? Why did Soviet communism fail? In this video we tell you.
