The break up of the Soviet Union, officially The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics or USSR, began with the appointment of Mikhail Gorbachev as head of State on 1st October 1988.
His reforms known as Perestroika (re-structuring) and Glasnost (openness) led to the end of the Cold War and the dissolution of the USSR.
On 8th December 1991 the Presidents of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus signed The Belavezha Accords declaring The Soviet Union dissolved.
On 21st December 1991 representatives of all of the Soviet Republics, except Georgia, signed the Alma-Ata Protocol confirming their agreement to the Belavezha Accords.
On 22nd Decdember 1991, The Supreme Soviet dissolved itself marking the final stage in the dissolution.
On 26th December 1991 Russia (now officially The Russian Federation) was internationally recognised as the legal successor of the former USSR.
1991
This was President Ronald Reagan's primary goal. The money the U.S. was spending on defense was enormous, the end of the cold war could mean the beginning of a thriving economy for the U.S. and the improvement of life for all soviet peoples. Unfortunately, economy and lifestyle is controlled by current governments, not past events.
The real end of the cold war came when President Reagan invited the Soviet President to view the U.S. war machine. He took Gorbachev to each of the U.S. Military Forces' Bases and showed him U.S. versus Soviet ability, then bottom-lined him.
Ultimately, the word of this spread across the Soviet Union and one day, the East Germans, that have been separated from their family and friends for over 40 years, headed to the Berlin Wall. Upon arriving en-masse, they informed the Guards that the gates are suppose to be open. Not being willing to admit they never got the message, and being unwilling to question their Superiors, the Guards opened the gates and the rest was domino effect.
The Berlin Wall fell, and all of the Soviet Union demanded freedom.
It was an exciting time... I remember thinking; "What took America 200 years to learn, the ExSoviets could do in 50"... we'll see...they were not good
