Dissolution of the Soviet Union

The Soviet flag being lowered and replaced with the flag of the Russian Federation on the night of December 25, 1991, a day before the Soviet Union was officially dissolved.

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.

Socioeconomic consequences

The dissolution of the Soviet Union had severe societal ramifications for the inhabitants of the post-Soviet states. The poverty rate increased massively, from 3% of the population in 1987-1988 to 25% in 1993-1995. Likewise, the mortality rate and average life expectancy declined significantly as conflict, illness, and famines took hold.<ref>Vladimir Popov (July 5, 2018).
