I might be treading similar ground with this thread, but the question of if it is possible to 'destroy' the Soviet Union has been on my mind a lot recently. The USSR has been around for almost a hundred years now, and though there have been ample opportunities to prevent its formation and rise to the point in which its almost a cliche (the Whites winning the Civil War, Nazi Germany defeating them, etc.), the Soviet Union nevertheless lives on.

Now, I know from other threads how unlikely people view the dissolution of the USSR, however, I think with the right POD it might be possible to see the union at least break apart (Article 72 of their constitution even provides the constituent republics a means to secede). However, to make the challenge a little more difficult, you can't use a POD before 1945 (so no Nazi victories folks); you have to find the right POD after the USSR's rise to power.
