One day prior, the flag of the USSR was lowered from the Kremlin for the final time, and was replaced with a banner featuring the traditional Russian tricolors. On Russian television, news channels broadcasted the country’s dissolution as early as December 21, as the Soviet government began to collapse. . 🎥: @the_burning.archive"
