Superb talk! Not just for people invested in this historical topic but also as a methodological lesson / tutorial. <br><br>Personally I feel that the whole "question" is actually two separate, yet combined, issues:<br><br>Why did the empire of the one party system collapse?<br><br>Why did the Soviet Union, and the whole "Eastern Block" system disintegrate so rapidly?<br><br>At least with the 2nd question answer is rather obvious: Both the Eastern block as well as the Soviet Union functioned as a cluster of sovereign states / republics. The Moscow center had to/wanted to (both options are valid for different cases) preserve and work with those political units. Once the central Moscow capital became weak the local forces immediately usurped powers. And this happened even if these powers weren't ethnically homogenous and non Russian. Its a natural tendency of systems. The local branch manager would be happy to become a "boss" and not just an appointed manager, if he feels he can.
