The official dissolution of the Soviet Union took place on December 26, 1991. It was the result of the counter-revolutionary and revisionist movement beginning with the death of Joseph Stalin in 1953 and subsequent de-Stalinization. At first, the Soviet revisionists attempted to gamble on the name of the Soviet Communist Party, but between 1989 to 1991, the Soviet revisionists decided to formally dissolve the Soviet Union and end the facade of socialism. The Soviet revisionists liquidated the CPSU and empowered right-wing nationalists and counter-revolutionaries everywhere.
The dissolution of the Soviet Union was a temporary victory for the bourgeoisie, but socialism rising again is inevitable.
