The old Soviet Republic simply disintegrated under the sheer weight of the central bureaucracy.
The USSR collapsed, but the organs of the state survived; they just got new names. And they have been re-opened “under new management” as it were.
A bureaucratic entity, like a pernicious vine, has to be pulled out by the roots, and that’s not going to happen domestically. Someone once did a study tracing the Roman bureaucracy, and how it continued its life by being incorporated into the Catholic Church. Virtually all of the Roman bureaucratic organs still exist today.
