Discontent and instability had been problems in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics since the beginning, and these problems worsened as the years went on. No single factor explains why communism fell in the Soviet Union; however, three equally powerful internal pressures eroded the Soviet Union and created a sense of desperation. This eventually was what brought down the Union, and created the beginning of a new era of Capitalism. Gorbachev’s rise to power, the Independence Movements of the republics and that the Union had become too big to govern, merged to create an atmosphere of nervousness and uncertainty which eventually led to the fall of Communism in 1991. Although the Soviet Union had started to crumble, the official fall of Communism was a much unexpected event, not only to the rest of the world, but also to the citizens from within the union.

Since the start of communism, leaders of the Soviet Union had ruled with absolute power. The citizens had been treated harshly and punished cruelly. However, in March 1985 everything changed drastically. Mikhail Gorbachev became the leader of the Soviet Union. Ethnic conflicts and economic inefficiency were some of the major challenges Gorbachev faced. He tried to make changes by relaxing strict Communist pratices. He began two new policies. One of them was Glasnost or openness. People were now allowed to speak out against the government and there was also a greater degree of freedom within the media. The other new policy was known as Perestroika or restructuring, which referred to the reformation of the Soviet economy. Although Gorbachev improved relations with the West, his changes did not bring about the improvement that people hoped for. After the official combined collapse of the Soviet Union and Communism, Russia became an independent country. Gorbachev was removed from the role as leader of Soviet Union. Boris Yeltsin became the first president of the Russian Federation.

During the late 1980’s, the Soviet Union had reached its peak and many Union members had started to question the domineering way that the country was run. This in turn led to the republics demanding more autonomy and independence from the central rule of Moscow. They had become tired of following the restrictive rules and laws. The Soviet Union did not intervene as the Soviet-bloc nations of Poland, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Romania, and Hungary all abandoned the dictatorial Communist rule by 1990. Soon, in August and September 1991, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan declared their independence. This caused the fall of the Soviet Union and the creation of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).

The ideals imagined by the original communists never came about. Workers did not become more prosperous as they had expected and their motivation to work hard lacked. This led to fewer products being made, and an adequate amount of food was not being grown. People could not buy the things that they needed. The situation went from bad to worse. This made the citizens rebel, and the government could not control them because they were situated in central Moscow. The Soviet Union had become too large to rule.

Communism fell in the USSR, due to many reasons. Gorbachev’s rise to power played a significant role, as well as the Independence Movements of the republics and that the Union had become too big to govern. The collapse of the Communist regime in the Soviet Union was more than a political event. The powerful bond between the economy and politics of Russia created an dismal situation for the successor states of the Soviet Union. The people of Russia were so accustomed to the way of life under Communism; they were left with little democratic tradition. Russia was faced with one of the toughest tasks, economic democratization.
