** 16-Nov-2019 World View: 1990s collapse of Soviet Union
I looked at the thread. This was a subject of discussion for years
and years and years in the old forum, and I have no desire whatsoever
to go into that thread and get embroiled in another discussion.
Here's the summary: The 1990s collapse of the Soviet Union was NOT a
crisis event for Russia. There was no Regeneracy and no Climax.
It was an Awakening climax, following the disastrous war in
Afghanistan. In the 20th century, there are two similar examples of
the same thing: The collapse of the Weimar government following the
disastrous Great War, and the resignation of Richard Nixon following
the disastrous Vietnam war.
