  • Soviet Domestic Politics and Collapse of the Outer Empire, 1989
    Soviet Domestic Politics and Collapse of the Outer Empire, 1989 FREDO ARIAS-KING n this article, I explore the role of domestic politics in precluding the inter- I vention of the Soviet army in Eastern Europe in fall 1989. A close look at the USSR’s domestic political situation as early as summer 1989 suggests that there was little, if any, intention on the part of the legislators, government, or even the Communist Party to prop up the fast-disintegrating Communist regimes in the East bloc with force. Rather, there is substantial evidence that a revolution in Eastern Europe would be welcomed in Moscow. To my knowledge, this angle has not been examined in the scholarly literature. Many of the leading authori- ties on the collapse of Eastern Europe fail to connect internal policymaking— particularly relating to the creation of legislative power in the USSR and its con- sequences—to the historic collapse of the Soviet Union’s “outer empire.” I do not argue that Soviet democratization caused the collapse of the East European regimes in 1989, but that it was the main factor that precluded an armed inter- vention to save those regimes. Only one of six major books on the revolutions of 1989, for example, even mentions the USSR Congress of People’s Deputies, and then only in passing.1 They focus instead on the USSR as a unitary player, with a reformer (Gorbachev) at the helm, surrounded by like-minded advisers advocating new political think- ing, who decided to “allow” the East Europeans to go their own way.

There were many differences between Abiy and the TPLF, but foremost was the Front’s support of national federalism and the prime minister’s back­ ing of a return to the centralized administration of past Ethiopian governments. The issue of national federalism has been controversial since it was first introduced by the Ethiopian Peo­ ple’s Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) in 1991, but the war encourages the debate to be revisited.

The Central leadership expressly formulated the 1936 draft to redefine citizenship and the rights it entailed, focusing on the inclusion of former class enemies and the expansion of “soviet democracy”. The discussion of the draft was conducted in such a manner as to be all-inclusive and promote the leadership’s definition of soviet democracy. However the issues that the leadership considered paramount and the issues that the populace considered paramount were very different. They focused on issues of local and daily importance and upon fairness and traditional peasant values as opposed to the state’s focus with the work and sacrifice of building socialism.

  • The Disintegration of the Soviet Union and the End of the Cold
    The Disintegration of the Soviet Union and the End of the Cold War At its disintegration in 1991, the Soviet Union had existed for seven decades, comprised about a sixth of our globe’s surface, and was populated by approximately 285 million inhabitants. The union offi- cially consisted of 15 republics, including over 90 nationalities and 110 languages. In reality, its largest republic always dominated the state on political, economic and cultural levels, making “Russia” a 5 widely used synonym for the “USSR”. In fact, Russia’s influence reached even beyond the USSR, controlling various satellite states like Poland, East Germany, Hungary, Czechoslovakia or Bulgaria. When Communist Russia finally stumbled in her race with the west, the whole eastern block crumbled. The downfall of this unofficial empire not only ended the Cold War, but it also opened the door for various political developments both promising and alarming, which still shape our current 10 world. Though this epoch-making event looked like a sudden upheaval at that time, it really was the result of many domestic problems, which had been growing continually but which propaganda had long kept from the public consciousness. Domestic problems in the Eastern Bloc The most influential stumbling block was certainly the unbalanced economic development. Though the Soviet economy had managed to recover rapidly from World War II, this industrial revival was 15 chiefly based on heavy industry and the export of resources like coal and oil. The income from these sales was mainly invested in reconstructing the military. As tensions with the western allies soon grew, re-arming remained high on the political agenda.
