>Did you read the links at all? Did you read any detailed analysis of the collapse of the USSR at all? Does not sound like it.
The links on that particular page? 'Cause you haven't posted anything to refute any of my arguments. But yes, I have read quite extensively on the collapse. I have read numerous books and articles on the Soviet Union since first doing a history report on it in middle school, over 30 years ago.
