The collapse of the USSR. Who is guilty

S.G. Kara -Murza is the most famous researcher of the Soviet period, his books cover all aspects of the life of the Soviet Union and are built on a huge amount of actual material.
In the study presented to your attention, S.G. Kara-Murza analyzes the internal and external factors that weakened the USSR and led him to the crisis of the 1980s. The main issue considered by the author was whether the collapse of the Soviet Union was an inevitable catastrophe, a consequence of the gross miscalculations of the Soviet leadership, or this is the result of a wide conspiracy in which representatives of the world and domestic "elite" participated.
This knowledge is necessary for us and therefore, writes S.G. Kara-Murza, that we will continue to move blindly if we do not understand the Soviet system, including the experience of its death. The book is intended for everyone who thinks about the past and future of Russia
