Perang Dingin - Wikipedia With the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Russia lost the superpower status that it had won in the Second World War. In the strategic conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union a major arena was the strategy of technology (see also deterrence theory). The armies of the countries involved rarely had much direct participation in the Cold War; the war was primarily fought by intelligence agencies like the CIA (United States), MI6 (United Kingdom), BND (West Germany), Stasi (East Germany) and the KGB (Soviet Union). ms.wikipedia.org /wiki/Perang_Dingin   (2101 words)

History of the Soviet Union (1953-1985) - By 1982 the stagnation of the Soviet economy was obvious, as evidenced by the fact that the Soviet Union had been importing grain from the U.S. throughout the 1970s, but the system was not yet ready for drastic change. The Soviet Union boycotted the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, retaliating for the United States boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow. With this in mind, some Soviet and Russia specialists have argued that the Kosygin Reforms of 1965 - not Gorbachev's reforms in the 1980s - were the last chance to spare the leadership of the Soviet administrative command economy and to spare the population of the hardships that would surface in the late 1970s. psychcentral.com /psypsych/Destalinization   (3367 words)

H-Net Review: Roger E. Chapman on Why Did the Soviet Union Collapse?: Understanding Historical Change To argue that the Soviet Union collapsed is as problematic as to report that it disappeared, another word circulating in book titles.[3] The government obviously changed, but the new system is forged out of the old. Soviet money was still in use in Russia through the summer of 1993; Soviet passports were not replaced until 1997. The Soviet Union, unlike the Roman Empire, was not conquered by outside forces. www.h-net.msu.edu /reviews/showrev.cgi?path=22045935440635   (1830 words)
