USSR Collapse: A Crash Course

Why was the Soviet Union dissolved?

In December 1991, the Russian tricolour replaced the hammer and sickle flying above the Kremlin. The Soviet Union ceased to exist. How did it happen? A new documentary, USSR Collapse: A Crash Course, looks into the fast-unfolding events of 1991, and key figures, for a better understanding of why the USSR fell and whether it was an inevitable process.
