The Soviet Union fell apart because it failed economically and socially.
The Russian State will not cease to exist; rather the current government is likely to cease to exist.
I disagree. The current government will become more oppressive and closed much like what has happened here in the USA. The Russian g9vernment have their propaganda network just like we do. Only difference between them and us, we the people are just sitting on the couch happily allowing our government to for AL I tents enslave us all in legislation and reulation.
