What were the reasons for the fall of the Soviet Union?
Their indulgence in Afghan war is one reason that appeals to reason since immediately after that they collapsed. But their fall was not the result of a single event since they could have handled this as they were a superpower. What caused their decline?

One of the main reasons for the collapse of the Soviet Union was the pressure which came from the Baltic countries Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, fighting for the restoration of their independence from the empire. Other countries of the empire followed their example, even Russia. But there were other reasons as well, the declining economy, the Afghanistan war, the breakdown of the dictatorships in the satellite countries of Eastern and Central Europe.
