You guys know the real history, I'd be reading propaganda if I went on any other website
So tell me, real short, what triggered the collapse. Especially when it seemed to be doing well in the 80s.
Okay, you can get wordy if you really need to.

There was a series of economic crises starting in the late 70s, with drop in agricultural production as farmers moved to cities. You had long lines and shortages between late 70s - early 80s. The Gorbachev economic reforms were meant to address this. The free political climate that followed glasnost allowed the fostering nationalist ideological movements, resulting in break-away republics by the end of the decade.
By allowed, here we mean, "Actively seeded and funded by the CIA for the purposes of allowing nationalists to break up the USSR"
