And that was truth. It was a financial factor. However there was a social factor. The system was rotten and nobody wanted to continue live this way. People already felt the smell of real money when Gorbachev allowed people to have their own business and hire the employees. So when both factors have summed up together, the Soviet Union has collapsed from inside.
