“Why did the Soviet Union collapse? Why did the Soviet Communist Party fall?
An important reason is that the ideological struggle was extremely fierce. A complete denial of Soviet history, the history of the Soviet Communist Party, denial of Lenin, denial of Stalin, and the spread of historical nihilism led to chaos in thinking. Party organizations at all levels were almost completely ineffective. Even the military was no longer under the Party’s leadership.”
