There is a reason the USSR folded.

The real reason was prohibition of alcohol in late 80-s by
Gorbachev. That got all folks really mad, and got him
extremely unpopular at home. Everyone was making their own
booze with a "glove" sticking out on top called "Hello
Gorbachev". Then a drunk Yeltsin became the new Russian
President -g- No -g- intended, by the way, that really the
way it was.
