Well the Soviet Union collapsed without a major world war right?
- ptaipale 11y agoBut I think that much of that was simply due to luck. I felt rather nervous about it at the time.
- CydeWeys 11y agoIf someone like Putin had been in charge at the time, it might've gone differently, for sure.
- crdoconnor 11y agoIf a hardliner had been in charge instead of Gorbachev and Glasnost wasn't enacted it probably wouldn't have collapsed (or it would have collapsed a lot more messily). We got lucky that it was him in charge rather than somebody else.
