Misconception. It was greedy leaders keeping profit for themselves (with assistance from CIA agents aimed at toppling "communism") that led to the fall of the USSR. Someone needs to remind the Republicans in America that you have to actually feed the poor or they will revolt.

oh trust me, its not a misconception. No matter how much the leader kept for themselves, USSR, as a state would not have fallen if its economy wasn't a gigantic black hole. Modern Russian "patriots" just LOVE to scream how CIA destroyed the glorious USSR, while in fact USSR destroyed itself.
