The USSR's economy should have become a mix of market socialism and planned economy (just like in Yugoslavia) but the ultra-conservative communists resisted. Actually modern China is a good example of what it should become. USSR decided to do something like that, but they went too liberal and fell.

In the West Afganistan campagin is usually seen as Soviet defeat, but actually it wasn't so. USSR forces fulfilled all tacks that they had. But when they went out, Afganistan still fell. That was the defeat.
