The Soviet union was the Cold War enemy of the United States that collapsed in 1991 after years of economic and political turmoil.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The process of the degradation of the Soviet union had begun in 1985 itself as a result of the increasing unrest among the national republics.
With the implementation of Belavezha Accords, the republics that were formerly a part of the USSR were granted independence in order to allow them to function as independent nations.
The dissolution of the USSR was a result of years of political conflicts and economic downgrading of the Soviet union.
