    Could easily argue that the winner of the Cold War was the US, considering the USSR collapsed through internal strife and balkanization.

        Sure, not because of Chernobyl, the national embarrassment of the failed soviet afghan war, the coup attempt on Gorbachov and the following turmoil causing Moscow to lose influence, followed by many republics declaring independence. but sure, just the profit/market economy

            I’m guessing the last time they flew into space was just before they brutally defeated and humiliated the red army.

            They had a nice society before the USSR invaded, btw.
