Abstract

Mikhail Gorbachev is considered responsible for the separation of soviet union, but according to scholars, factors behind the separation of soviet union were rather different. People were not happy with the economic development during communist rule. Uncontrolled rule was established in soviet union by one party administration. Members of party and employees were living luxury life. People of other countries were not happy by self-willed of Russia. Soviet union was expensing most of the budget on production of armaments due to completion with America. Soviet union had to suffer economic loss due to interference in At ghani stan. Atmosphere of stagnation was started particularly after 1960 in economics of soviet union. No tries had been done to improve from this situation.
