Abstract

In December 1991, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics broke up. Researchers of this problem classified factors that have led to the breakup of the USSR. As part of this group of researchers, I also attempted to classify the causes/factors that fundamentally influenced the disintegration of the Soviet federation. There are several groups of such causes: ideological, political, social, economic, nomenclature or national. Of course, their enumeration is intended to sort out the matter of this complex process/issue and to present it in the most transparent way. The classification of these causes, in principle, has merely a contractual character (ordering the description of this problem), because in reality the decisive factors for the collapse of the USSR interpenetrate and cross on many levels, creating the disintegration mechanism. In this article, I would like to focus on the nomenclature factor, because it is maybe not unnoticed but undervalued. In the base of this assumptions is the thesis that the disintegration of the Soviet Union – at internal level – was a result of the nomenclature consensus, which can also be seen as a kind of social contract, although more – as the agreement between the various levels of the nomenclature elites. In this article will be presenting the various elements of the nomenclature factor of the colapse of the USSR, such as the attitude – and the evolution of the nomenclature’s attitude to communist ideology and economy, national affairs, the organization of state power. It created regional nomenclature particularism that led to disintegration of the Soviet empire and the emergence of fifteen new states in its place – the former Soviet Union republics.
