I would certainly agree that the Russian Revolution was a crisis resolution. It has been a century since then, though; there should have been another crisis since then.
Makes absolute sense. It's probably no coincidence the Soviet Union broke down during it. (Something we should consider too - the Anglo-Yankee world has been lucky enough to survive every Crisis pretty well. Ask some Southerner, or study their history from 1865-1940 to learn how an English-speaking society that lost in a Crisis looks like.)
The breakdown happened around Gorbachev's time, but he is misblamed. Every other Soviet leader since Stalin included probably would have failed as well.
