Reagan had a series of economic policies that contributed to the collapse of the Soviet Union.

One of them was that Reagan had a massive defense build-up from 134 to 253 billion dollars. This made the Soviet Union raise their spending with defense from 22 to 27% of GDP, this caused the freeze of production of civilian goods.

He also ended Carter’s grains embargo, this caused even more food shortages in the Soviet Union, at the same time he reduced the flow of technology to the Soviet Union and limited gas exports to them.

At that time, the Soviet Union had an economy based on oil, this moves by Reagan caused a drastic fall in the price of oil and as a result, Soviets had a low income of currency.

The salaries increased, sometimes drastically some times slowly. An average worker in the 1900 had a salary between 256$ and $439 per year, while in 1929 the average salary was between 752$ and 1164$ per year. This all stopped and became much much worse when the great depression hit in the thirties which left the economy devastated.
