It has been exactly 30 years since the collapse of the Soviet Union

By the evening of the 25th, it had been 30 years since the collapse of the Soviet Union. At 19:25 on December 25, 30 years ago, Gorbachev announced his resignation as president of the Soviet Union in a televised address. At 19:32, on the flagpole on the roof of the Kremlin, the Soviet flag, which was known to generations of Soviets and the people of the world, slowly fell... At 19:45, a tricolor flag of the Russian Federation was raised over the Kremlin. On that night 30 years ago, I was still in my first year of high school in Chongqing, and although I was in a Russian class, I didn't understand this historical event. 30 years later, we are still lamenting the huge impact of the demise of the CCCP on the world, hoping to learn more lessons from it.
