    Furthermore its dissolution was literally illegal and undemocratic.

        Not just quality of life, but average life expectancy. The deliberate destruction of the Soviet Union was cause for one of the single largest drops in life expectancy in recorded history.

        The collapse destruction of the Soviet Union also ushered in an era of unrestrained capitalist exploitation without a rival power to incentivize better social programs.

        Literally the entire world felt the blow of this tragedy.
