A civil war following the collapse of the USSR would have been the bloodiest war since WW2

civil `war against `who

It would have limped on for another 5 years then fallen apart

70-something percent of soviet citizens `were AGAINST dissolution

literally `who the fuck `would be fighting

`white people are so clueless

Armenians vs Azerbaijanis

Because when did the Croats and the Serbs fight

That’s not what Gorbachev said. He feared a civil war. And guess what buster he alone stopped it. Even if the vast majority of soviet citizens would remain loyal if Islamic fundamentalists got hold of some nukes it’s game over

The Russians in core Russia don’t mean shit

>gorbachev feared something that `was highly unlikely
>hurdurr looks like he stopped it

Look what happened two years earlier in Yugoslavia

gorbachev `was a piece of shit

yugoslavia is a completely different situation

He saved us from WWIII

yugoslavia `was held together by tito

grow a brain please

So was the ussr dumb fuck

tito held together the ussr?

It was a stitched together country

source?

No Gorbachev but the same principle still applies

gorbachev `was in power for 6 years

tito `was in power for 20-30 years

>Ten years after his death, Yugoslavia collapsed into multiple devastating civil wars.
