The Soviet Union experienced a crisis due to economic waste. The socio-cultural crisis in the USSR occurred because of class division, the low quality of people's lives, and the government was not allowed to develop people's creativity. In particular, the system named Glasnost and Perestroika which was proclaimed by President Gorbachev was the trigger for the explosion of social revolutions in Eastern European countries.
