1932: World crisis shapes totalitarian system in USSR
Repressions against the peasantry, complete collectivization and the transition to totalitarianism in 1929-32 were to a large extent (although not exclusively) the result of a global economic crisis that affected Soviet Russia differently than Germany or the United States, but no less fateful.
It was the world crisis of 1929-32 that shaped Stalinism as it went down in history, it was he who gave rise to totalitarianism in the USSR in the same way that it caused the victory of Nazism in Germany.

On July 2, 1937, the Politburo of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks authorized the sending of regional committees to the secretaries regional committees, the Central Committee of the National Parties of the telegram, in which it was offered to all secretaries of regional and regional organizations and all regional ones, the regional and republican representatives of the NKVD to take into account all those who returned to their homeland after serving the terms of expulsion of kulaks and criminals with that, so that the most hostile of them were immediately arrested and shot in order to administratively conduct their cases through the troika.

Creation of a high-level mixed advisory group to analyze the problems of economic reforms in the USSR
In the spring of 1990, the East-West Institute for the Study of Security Problems sent a proposal to the Soviet leadership to create a high-level mixed advisory group to analyze the problems of economic reforms in the USSR. The Central Committee of the Communist Party then reacted positively to it and the study of organizational issues began. The final agreement on the creation of a commission of such a high level was reached on May 30, 1990 during a summit meeting of Secretary General of the CPSU Central Committee Mikhail Gorbachev and US President George W. Bush. From that moment on, the path to economic dependence and the temporary loss of Russian sovereignty begins.
Recommendations by the IMF and other banks to radicalize economic reforms. EU allocates funds for retraining personnel for public and private sector

All-Union referendum on the preservation of the USSR

The issue of preserving the USSR as an updated Federation of equal sovereign states and republics of the former USSR was discussed.
Referendum on the introduction of the post of President of the RSFSR and the election of Boris Yeltsin to it
On March 17, 1991, in parallel with the All-Union referendum, the first all-Russian referendum on the introduction of the presidency of the RSFSR was held. 75.09% of the citizens of the RSFSR took part in it, of which 71.3% supported this proposal.
Three months later, on June 12, 1991, Boris Yeltsin was elected the first president of the RSFSR.
Program of Western countries to reformat the state apparatus of the USSR
Already in March 1991, consultations were held in Moscow on the EU-USSR on technical assistance, that is, on the "mental" impact on the processes within the Soviet state apparatus when making political decisions. By the summer of 1991, a campaign was underway to reformat the state apparatus.
In the Soviet party-political leadership, there was no unambiguous understanding and unambiguous position on what exactly foreign aid should be, what its volume should be and what exactly it should be aimed at. And most importantly, what you need to give for it. Trying to somehow resolve this issue, a note was drawn up in the Central Committee of the party on the position in negotiations with foreign states on providing assistance to the USSR. These discussions peaked in late spring-summer 1991. The note stated that it is necessary to determine a principled position in negotiations and consultations with foreign states, international organizations and business circles on the provision of priority and subsequent assistance, as well as to assess how much this assistance affects the course of political, public and generally historical development of our country. All these issues were actively discussed in the Soviet party-political leadership - and against the background of the dynamic penetration of consulting teams from the West.
Another important aspect of understanding the causes and internal mechanics of the process of losing historical sovereignty should recognize the West's bet that the aid program involves not only allied authorities - and even mainly non-allied ones - but republican and local ones. Thus, the decentralist, centrifugal approach was initially laid, the formation of republics and even regions within them, separate from the center of economic activity, and all this under the guise of satisfying harmless economic demands and economic alignment. In practical terms, all this reached the political level and led to the requirements of autonomism, or full political independence.
Agreement on the accession of the USSR to the IMF with the status of an associate participant
An important intermediate outcome of the economic subordination of the USSR was the achievement in the summer of 1991 of an agreement between Gorbachev and US President Bush on the accession of the USSR to the IMF and obtaining the status of an associate participant.
