      Low-effort, generalized comments on topics I’ve already covered in-depth before get copy/pasted replies, with any necessary tweaks to make more relevant. Contrary to what you’re claiming (with no sources), soviet record-keeping was meticulous, with the soviet archives serving as the basis of all modern historiography worth any salt, both from pro-soviet and anti-soviet historians.

      In reality, most soviet citizens wanted to retain the USSR up until the very end:

      Moreover, the large majority of post-soviet citizens regret its fall. What happened was a crisis in government caused by a coup by the Yeltsin faction, who wished to use their positions to establish a capitalist economy and a dissolution of the soviet system.

      You haven’t proven how anything I’ve said is fake, just relied on your own emotional unwillingness to concede that the USSR was ultimately functional and progressive for its time. Is there a particular fact you dispute? Can you offer a counter-source? Without any of those, you’re the Flat Earther in the face of modern historiography.
