USSR imploded with little help from the West.

Brezhnev invaded Afghanistan; Solidarity trade union in Poland was homegrown; Chernobyl wasn't sabotaged; the old guard who went against Gorbachev hated the West more than anyone.

Solidarity trade union in Poland was homegrown;

No it wasn't, they even bragged of recieving help and money from USA and Vatican.

Brezhnev invaded Afghanistan

Come fucking on, Afghan govt called USSR for help after USA funded and armed the fundamentalist insurgents, again they even brag about it.
