| Poverty, prostitutes and the long, slow death of the Soviet Union Jan 1st 2013, 21:18 | Haunting pictures show desperate struggle to survive in last days of USSR If you're feeling the pinch in our age of austerity, you might want to hark back to life in the last years of the Soviet Union. Shop shelves were often bare, long lines for food were a regular sight and some children just didn't have that youthful glint in their eyes you might expect. As was the essence of communism, the USSR's economic system was highly centralised and based on inflexible five-year plans rather than market forces. Years of military expansion also hindered growth. Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev tried to liberalise politics in the one-party state during the 1980s in an attempt to drive the economic revival. But this only succeeded in encouraging states in the soviet bloc to make increasing demands for independence. The unrest grew to such an extent that the USSR finally collapsed on Boxing Day 1991, shortly after these pictures were taken. | Views: 1 0 ratings | | Time: 01:13 | More in Entertainment |
