The dissolution of the USSR was a completely peaceful process. Gorbachev held a referendum, in each of the 16 Soviet republics, asking if the citizens would like their republic to remain a part of the USSR or if they would prefer it to be an independent nation. The result was that all 16 republics, including Russia itself, voted that they would rather leave the USSR. As a result, the USSR was dissolved. Not a single shot was fired. It was a remarkable exercise in democracy, in a nation that had been utterly undemocratic in its previous history.
All communist nations were part of some alliance during the cold war period. However, Yugoslavia broke its alliance with the Soviet Union in 1948 due to disagreements between Stalin and Yugoslav leader Marshall Tito. As a result the USSR became hostile towards Yugoslavia and it was never a member of the Warsaw Pact. Instead Tito pursued efforts with leaders of other nations such as India, Egypt and Ghana into forming the Non-Aligned Movement. China politically split with the USSR with the Sino-Soviet split in 1960 due to disagreements about each countries communist systems. Albania had a political split with the USSR at the same time as the Sino-Soviet split as it supported China rather than the USSR. It also later left the Warsaw Pact in 1968 as it opposed the Warsaw pact invasion of Czechoslovakia.
