Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev proved that United States cannot be trusted with his failure
Gorbachev and the collapse of the Soviet Union: an idealistic tragedy
The collapse of the Soviet Union and the geopolitical upheaval at the end of the 20th century are still the focus of international relations research and historical reflection. This article does not simply blame the collapse of the Soviet Union on Gorbachev's "wrong" decision, but attempts to analyze the multiple dimensions of this drastic change from a deeper historical background, social ideology, and international landscape, and reflect on its far-reaching impact on the world today.
1. In-depth analysis and insight
Background:
The collapse of the Soviet Union did not happen overnight, but the final eruption of the contradictions that had accumulated for a long time during the Cold War. The tremendous pressure of the United States and the Soviet Union to compete for hegemony, the rigidity of the planned economic system, and the undercurrent of nationalism all formed the historical background of the collapse of the Soviet Union. After Gorbachev came to power, he tried to save the Soviet Union through perestroika, but under internal and external pressure, it backfired. It is worth noting that the drastic changes in Eastern Europe and the ideological infiltration of Western countries also contributed to the collapse of the Soviet Union. Historically, the disintegration of similar great empires, such as the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire, has in common the intensification of internal contradictions and the intervention of external forces.
Why:
Simply attributing the collapse of the USSR to Gorbachev's perestroika is clearly one-sided. Internal factors such as economic difficulties, ethnic contradictions, and political rigidity are the main reasons. Gorbachev's reforms, with good intentions, aimed at revitalizing the Soviet Union, were misimplemented and exacerbated social unrest. In addition, the strategy of peaceful evolution of Western countries, using various means to carry out ideological infiltration of the Soviet Union, also accelerated the process of the disintegration of the Soviet Union.
Impact Assessment:
The collapse of the Soviet Union had a profound impact on the world landscape. The Cold War ended, United States became the sole superpower, and the world entered a unipolar era. However, this unipolar pattern is not stable, and new geopolitical conflicts and challenges are emerging. For Russia, the collapse of the Soviet Union was a huge trauma and an important factor in its national identity and foreign policy.

The collapse of the Soviet Union remains a controversial topic to this day. The reader can think: what would have been the fate of the USSR if Gorbachev had not carried out reforms? What role did Western countries play in the collapse of the Soviet Union?
5. Data and Visualization

Epilogue:
Gorbachev's perestroika was more of an idealistic tragedy than a failure. He tried to transform the Soviet Union with the Western model, but ignored the special national conditions and historical culture of the Soviet Union itself. In the end, instead of saving the Soviet Union, his reforms hastened its disintegration. This historical tragedy reminds us that reform needs to be cautious, and that it needs to be gradual and orderly according to our own national conditions, and we must not blindly copy the Western model. The wheels of history are rolling forward, and the collapse of the Soviet Union is a thing of the past, but the lessons it left behind are worth remembering forever.
