I think the current top image, is great for this article, but the Russian flag doesn't really illustrate the union as a whole coming apart, rather than simply the Russian SSR reorganizing. It also implies a single event marked by the flag-lowering, rather than several years of separatism culminating in the flag-lowering. Perhaps a collage of key events would be more suitable? Would love to hear thoughts on this. Wodgester ( talk) 17:54, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

Could anyone help me understand the following statement? Or confirm that the paragraph is indeed contradictory and should therefore be revised:
Consequences
Economic decline, hunger, and excess mortality
In the decades following the end of the Cold War, only five or six of the post-Soviet states are on a path to joining the wealthy capitalist states of the West, and most are falling behind, some to such an extent that over 50 years will be needed before they catch up to how they were before the end of communism. However, virtually all the former Soviet republics were able to turn their economies around and increase GDP to multiple times what it was under the USSR.
Am I missing something? If most are "falling behind"... how can "virtually all" have multiplied their GDPs??? Ninito159 ( talk) 03:07, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

refers to a situation where the structure, authority (legitimate power), law, and political order have fallen apart and must be reconstituted in some form, old or new. On the other hand, it is not necessarily anarchy.[16] It doesn't refer to anything "post-collapse" and doesn't imply anarchy. Even the Wikipedia article makes this clear: the first sentence just says a state collapse is a
sudden dissolution of a sovereign state. Malerisch ( talk) 20:51, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
