U.S. President Donald trump revealed the cause of the collapse of the Soviet Union in an interview with reporters. About it writes “Interfax”.
As says the American leader, the Soviet Union allegedly killed unsuccessful war in Afghanistan. So, the Soviet authorities have lost a huge amount of money and human lives.
“If you think about Russia, you will understand that it was Russia, and ceased to be the USSR because of Afghanistan,” said trump.
