The USSR was dismantled by the Soviet government, against the wishes of the Soviet population. There were no millions of people holding rallies and blocking streets in the Soviet Union to topple the government, unless you count Hands Across the Baltics.

----- Original Message ---- From: Carrol Cox <cbcox at ilstu.edu> My point is that a lot of things would have to happen before several million people, in groups from a handfull to hundres of thousands would march, hold rallies, occupy buildings, block streets, refuse to orders until compelled to by force, et etc.  Whether a govenrment actually topples under such pressure is antoher question. The Shah's government did. The Soviet government did.
