Poverty and exploitation of the Greta majority of the population (as u Nader all forms of capitalism).
Soviet Union collapsed because communistic leaders next generation love Beatles and James Bond - not Lenin and Communism :). When this generation came to power they destroy Communism. :)
yes it did for most of its 70 years of reign
First of all, after the communism fell in the Soviet Union there was no more Soviet Union, it fell with communism, and secondly, it went way worse for most of the citizens, now there are many Romanians travelling to socialist countries close to them like Spain.
Generally speaking, the US policy of containment with regards to the spread of Communism was a success in that, Soviet plans to dominate the world never came to pass. Communism did make gains after WW 2, however, the US and it's allies were successful in making sure that the USSR could not bring communism to the world. They had success in several areas such as China, which for the most part was unaided by the USSR. The failure of the Communist nations to promote dramatic revolutions on a worldwide scale was an indication of the weakness of the Soviet system.
Mikhail Gorbachev was a key player in the eventual deconstruction of communism.

Vladimir Lenin certainly launched communism in Russia and Joseph Stalin was the major leader who did the most to solidify communism in the Soviet Union.

After Soviet Communism became a threat most American politicians opposed Communism. However, Richard Nixon made a notably strong stand against Communism and so may be the man you are thinking of.
MIKHAIL GORBACHEV was the Soviet Premier most responsible for the Fall of Communism, especially because of his programs of glasnost (freedom of speech) and perestroika (market economics reforms).
Mikhail Gorbachev was a key player in the eventual deconstruction of communism.
