Abstract

The disintegration of the Soviet Union was, to some extent, the result of Gorbachev’s advocacy of “openness”, “All People’s Party”, and “pluralism” in governance. This was compounded by the repeated adjustments in the ruling strategies of the CPSU over 70 years and the rapid implementation of political participation policies such as “democracy” and “All People’s Party” in a context of low political institutionalization. Before its dissolution, the political organization of the Soviet Union was a typical example of praetorianism. In modern organizational management, when institutional development is lacking, promoting governance concepts like “openness”, “democracy”, and “diversification” can similarly lead to organizational dissolution.
