: global hegemony.
In order to compete with the United States for global hegemony, the former Soviet Union engaged in ideological confrontation. It carried out brutal internal purges and resorted to militarism. The countries that controlled the socialist camp wanted to form an iron plate among the Eastern countries to confront the Western countries. That is to say, the huge Iron Curtain was raised between the East and the West, which seriously hindered the exchange and integration between the East and the West, and brought the world into the Cold War era. This is actually turning the clock back on history.
As a result, the former Soviet Union engaged in many unrealistic arms races and space races, fell into the traps woven by others, and did not know where it was wrong. It continued to use more lies to deceive its own people for a long time, and The top management is greedy, arrogant and extravagant, and has developed a domineering style that makes them even more ambitious.
eventually led to the disintegration of the originally anti-hegemonic socialist camp founded by Lenin, and the former Soviet Union itself exploded and fell into pieces.

The second biggest lesson: ignore people’s livelihood.
The bureaucracy of the former Soviet Union was very serious. It had oppressed the people for a long time, regardless of the people's living difficulties. Everything was based on struggle and ignored people's livelihood.
The former Soviet Union was originally a union of workers and peasants that overthrew the Tsar and established the world's first proletarian regime, which was the victory of the communist movement. But after the establishment of the political power, everyone has his own greed and selfish side. Those leaders and officials of the former Soviet Union slowly turned into blood-sucking worms who squeezed the people. They did not consider the people's lives at all, but imposed some nihilistic ideologies on the people of the former Soviet Union. Over time, most of them became People are disgusted and even hate it to the core. Including the Stalin who won the World War was also criticized and thrown into hell.
This means that water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it.

The third major lesson: unlimited centralization
After the Second World War, the former Soviet Union maintained the centralized system of war during the war for a long time. The power of the entire former Soviet Union was concentrated in the hands of a few people. Once a mistake was made, the entire Soviet Union would make mistakes. Coupled with the brutal power struggle and the great purge, it is outrageous. Therefore, when Stalin, the powerful leader, suddenly died of a cerebral hemorrhage, it immediately triggered a struggle for power in the palace. In order to establish his prestige and consolidate his power, the winning Khrushchev launched a nationwide criticism of his predecessor.

Then the next Brezhnev did the same, constantly staged farces of joy and sorrow, putting society in turmoil.
Brezhnev
also oppressed fraternal countries, and even launched wars against Czechoslovakia and other unruly friendly countries, expanded externally on a large scale, and invaded Afghanistan . It is indeed extremely vicious and no different from a dictatorship. A large number of declassified documents prove that the leaders of the former Soviet Union did many evil things. In particular, it triggered the " Cuban Missile Crisis" and almost destroyed the earth. The fourth biggest lesson of
: unlimited delegation of authority.
Gorbachev
When we see Western countries prospering, the former Soviet Union is already very poor. Coupled with decades of planned economy, it is very rigid. Until Gorbachev came to power, people's mentality changed, so they started to fully westernize to . In the radicalization, they thought that they would stage the myth of getting rich overnight. As a result, power was delegated unlimitedly, which quickly led to chaos. In particular, the various affiliated republics colluded with each other, strongly demanded independence, and all wanted to be the founding president of the country.
was finally forced to have no way out by the big Yeltsin, announcing the disintegration of the former Soviet Union and the collapse of the Empire State Building, which also marked the end of the " Cold War era under the Iron Curtain".

The fifth biggest lesson: brain drain.
We must realize that the former Soviet Union was once full of talents, especially mathematicians and physics and chemistry experts, who have long stood at the pinnacle of world science. However, due to the long-term rigid system, the constraints and suppression of talents are very serious, and talents cannot be reused.Coupled with the favorable treatment of talents in Western countries, this has led to a large number of brain drains.
currentAfter the disintegration of the Soviet Union, society continued to be turbulent. Many talents had no funds and were unable to carry out research work, and had to seek survival and development abroad.
If a country does not have wealth, it can still create wealth. If there are no talents, we will only become poorer, lag behind for a long time, and lose our core competitiveness that is once again strong.
After the disintegration of the current Soviet Union, the original republics turned to " NATO " one after another, and then turned around to attack Russia. It seems that there are only eternal interests in the world, but no eternal brothers.
Sometimes brothers turn against each other and become even more vicious than their enemies. Today's war between Russia and Ukraine is the best proof.
No matter how history changes at home and abroad, there are some things that need to be remembered forever - no hegemony, no centralization, no blind faith, people's livelihood first, talent first.
