- Hitler tried it. How far did he get? Hitler never got to Moscow let alone further inland. Russia offers the following problems.
- It has a vast area to conquer.

Nevertheless, a freer new atmosphere led to protests in many Soviet republics, nationalist sentiments were reborn, political instability ensued. In the last years of the Soviet Union, Gorbachev resembled more and more a wizard that had liberated forces he could not control anymore. His position became too weak after a conservative coup d´etat staged in Moscow. It failed but severely undermined his position and strengthened the standing of the president of the Russian Federation Boris Yeltsin. The Soviet Union broke apart in December 1991.
