For the past 5 years or so I've been in the camp that denies that the "Soviet Collapse" was a natural event. As with just about everything else on the global political/economic stage, this was a planned event. Not random chance.

"Gentlemen, comrades, do not be concerned about all you hear about Glasnost and Perestroika and democracy in the coming years. They are primarily for outward consumption. There will be no significant internal changes in the Soviet Union, other than for cosmetic purposes. Our purpose is to disarm the Americans and let them fall asleep." - Mikhail Gorbachev, November 1987
