In many ways, the Soviet Union collapsed of it's own weight, having spent so much of it's budget on military buildup, for decades. Of course, getting mired in their war against Afghanistan, which received massive covert funding from the United States did not help the Soviets much either. It even resulted in a sort of generational distrust of the old Soviet guard by the younger military members. Just like Vietnam did to the United States, with our protests and our generation gap.
Afghanistan was a major drain on Soviet money, military personnel and equipment. It was their version of what happened to the United States in Vietnam. In this modern age of instant satellite media, it was also becoming harder to control everyone's news intake. American president Ronald Reagan dared the Soviet Union to tear down the Iron Curtain (by association, the Berlin Wall). By the end of the 1980's, the Soviet Union was going sour. Reformation efforts by acting leader Mikhail Gorbachev further pushed things over the edge for the old Soviet ways, which were being replaced by his "'Glasnost" movement.
The world was electrified when the Soviet Union flew the old Russian flag over the Kremlin, and the Berlin Wall came down.
