First of all you are funny. I put my logical arguments how external factors can affect the collapse of hegemonic entity, you just replied by giving some book names instead of giving your counter arguments . Then i gave you an article that mentions soviets were 20 years behind from US in information technologies , you again just say, I don't put any evidence for my claim. And your attitude against other is bad . Instead of putting your arguments politely, you are claiming others as dumb or ideas as ridiculous . I will just ask you one question about importance of information technologies. Why US tries everything to put China behind in information technologies if it does not afraid of losing its hegemony over the world ?

You are failing to grasp some very basic political science here. Technology is important. But it is one among many contributing factors to comprehensive national power. Technology alone does not and has never deterministically dictated outcomes, in the USSR or today. Your logic is flawed because you fail to recognize the inherently political nature of any and every government. Government does not exist because of technology; it exists because of people. It has existed at every level of technology, from cavemen to modern. Always has and always will.

Again, that's why I recommended those books to you. I suggest you read them instead of continuing to advertise your ignorance further.

The Soviets were not 20 years behind in IT. Just like I showed you with two examples. I have heard people make claims of 5-10 years behind but I think it was more like 5.

They were like 5 years behind in microprocessors. The worst thing actually was DRAM. There they were further behind. But DRAM could be imported from East Germany and later Japan.
