From the Russian Revolution of 1917 to the collapse of the USSR in 1991, this documentary explores the rise, expansion, and fall of the world’s first communist superpower. Founded after the Bolshevik Revolution led by Vladimir Lenin, the Soviet Union transformed Russia into a socialist state through rapid industrialization, collectivization, and centralized planning. Under Joseph Stalin, the USSR became a global power, playing a decisive role in World War II and later confronting the United States during the Cold War. This documentary covers key events including the Russian Civil War, Stalin’s purges, World War II, the Cold War, the nuclear arms race, and the reforms of Mikhail Gorbachev. It explains how economic stagnation, political instability, and failed reforms led to the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. A complete history of the USSR, its ideology, leaders, and lasting global impact.
