Detailed explanation-1: -Gorbachev’s decision to allow elections with a multi-party system and create a presidency for the Soviet Union began a slow process of democratization that eventually destabilized Communist control and contributed to the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Brezhnev era, which had begun with high growth, began to stagnate some time in the early 1970s. Kosygin’s “radical” reform attempts were halted in 1971 and his second reform was more modest.
Detailed explanation-3: -The three Baltic states – Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania – were the first to declare their independence from the USSR, between March and May 1990, claiming continuity from the original states that existed prior to their annexation by the Soviet Union in 1940.
