What marked the beginning and the end of the Soviet Union?

The beginning was when the Communists won the Russian Revolution witch started in 1905 and ended in 1917. The Czar and his family were shot, the flag of the Czars Russia changed to the Soviet Hammer and Sickle, and Vladimir Lenin became the leader of the Soviet Union until they could organize a council to govern the country (this obviously failed, and if it hadn't, the USSR may have been more successful) The fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 is when the last 2 satellite states, Ukraine and Belarus, broke off from the Soviet Union (the start of it is when the satellites started breaking off in the 80's, as well as the fall of the Berlin Wall) and in December 1991 Gorbachev, the last leader of the USSR, resigned and the Soviet flag changed into the tricolor if the Russian Federation.


Why did the Soviet Union collapse and dissolve?

The former Soviet Union collapsed when, in the mid-1980s, Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev (1931- ) allowed the economy to operate more like a free-market system than a Communist state (a form of government in which all property and means of production are publicly owned). Gorbachev made enemies with his policies. Some conservative Communist officials were angered by his decision and the hardships that were created in the transition to a less structured economy. They also disliked the loss of influence over neighboring countries, where communism was being over-thrown. On August 19, 1991, hard-line Communists attempted to topple Gorbachev's government. Although Gorbachev survived the attempt, his power was weakened, and soon the fifteen republics that made up the Soviet Union declared their independence.

What was partly responsible for the trails of alger hiss?

The trials of Alger Hiss were partly responsible for the intense Cold War atmosphere and the widespread fear of communism in the United States during the late 1940s. Hiss, a former State Department official, was accused of being a Soviet spy and was convicted of perjury in 1950 for denying these allegations. The case fueled public interest and concern over espionage, leading to increased scrutiny of government officials and contributing to the McCarthy-era witch hunts. Additionally, the trials highlighted the political tensions between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, as well as the struggle over ideology during that period.
