It was > overthrown, dissolved in a power grab by Yeltsin. Here's an interesting > article by Stephen F. Cohen: Just to nitpick on your response and the article, the Soviet Union did collapse. The power structure essentially lost the will to fight back. The fact that the Baltics simply declared themselves independent without a fight or even without a nod from the center should tell you that what Yeltsin grabbed was the rotten core of a rotting hulk of a state. Heck, Yeltsin's "power grab" was to take over the power vacuum after the failure of a military coup designed to prevent the dissolution of the Soviet Union into a loose federation of former Soviet republics. As someone who had the chance to visit the Soviet Union near the end, I can tell you that even if your version is correct in that the final fall wasn't a collapse, that is only because the internals of the USSR had collapsed long before and only the political will to use the military and state police to enforce the state's existence kept it going. When that will disappeared, so did the USSR. The structural integrity was defined by the police state, and that structure did indeed fail. If that isn't a collapse, I don't know what is. And to nitpick one more time, the idea that the Soviets had a "peak oil" moment was indicative of that internal collapse of the Soviet economy after the military will to preserve the Union evaporated. After all, it's not like Russia was out of oil, and the proof of that is that they hit an all-time output record just in September of this year when Russia surpassed Saudi Arabia as the largest volume producer of crude oil in the World for the first time. http://priceofoil.org/2006/08/23/russian-oil-production-overtakes-saudi-arab ia/ Peak Oil is a lot of bunk.
