Oh wait, that's right - if one disagrees with a mindless drone liberal they must have gotten their information from Fox News.
Except I'm not conservative, and my sources are historical in nature, and based upon many first-hand perspectives.

Economic pressures on population as being the main reason for the revolution in the USSR is to large extent a myth cultivated by US and western media. In seventies despite high oil prices, those economic pressures on the population were much worse compared to eighties (again speaking from experience of being there, not from listening to the media).

Wow, you're really off in La-La Land, aren't you?
Do you KNOW what GDP is? Do you KNOW how the USSR's percentage of GDP increased to FACTUALLY impossible levels in response to US increases?
These are facts, and obviously discussing what really happened with you is pointless due to the fact that you clearly choose to ignore them because they don't support the rosey picture of "All-Hail Eastern Europeans" that you've manufactured for yourself.
Certain things certainly happened, and while I have stated repeatedly that I do NOT believe that Reagan CAUSED the downfall of the USSR, he certainly hastened it.
But let's not let reality get in the way...
