This manuscript aims to explore two different but interrelated issues by sorting out the basic facts and historical process of the collapse of the Soviet Union: first, how did the collapse of the Soviet Union happen; second, why did the collapse of the Soviet Union happen. Regarding the first question, the author's basic judgment is that the collapse of the Soviet Union was the result of the planning, personal leadership and full implementation of the top leaders of the Soviet Party and government and their leadership group. The second question may be more important, because there must be deep roots that led to this result. Whether we can correctly discover and summarize the experience and lessons is essential for both understanding history and transforming society. The author Lu Aiguo is a researcher at the Institute of World Economics and Politics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and is now retired.
本书稿旨在通过梳理苏联崩溃的基本事实和历史过程, 探讨两个不同而又相互联系的问题: 第一, 苏联的崩溃是如何发生的; 第二, 苏联的崩溃为什么会发生。对第一个问题, 笔者的基本判断是, 苏联崩溃是由苏联党政最高领导人及其领导集团一手策划、亲自领导和全力推行的结果。第二个问题也许更重要, 因为必然存在导致这一结果的深层根源, 能否正确发现并总结经验教训, 无论对认识历史还是改造社会都必不可少。作者路爱国, 中国社会科学院世界经济与政治研究所研究员, 现已退休。
