The "mystery" of the Soviet collapse

Article Abstract:

There was nothing inevitable about the unraveling of Soviet communism and the role played by individuals such as Aleksandr Yakovlev was crucial. The failure of US Sovietologists to anticipate the Soviet collapse may in part be attributed to the Cold War revisionism and anti-anticommunism that tended to exaggerate the Soviet regime's stability and legitimacy and yet others who could hardly be considered soft on communism were also left feeling puzzled by its demise.
