Joe,

I lived behind the Iron curtain. I can tell you that it was nowhere near bankrupt.

My wife is from Russia. We met shortly before the collapse of the Soviet Union. I'm not sure when you left, but in the wake of Afghanistan the Soviet Union and it's military were bankrupt and demoralized.

The KGB had stolen most of the nations wealth, and collapse was all but inevitable. According to Gorbachev, Reagan's actions made the transition more difficult.
