metadata.value: Turning socialism into a system on a global scale was the Soviet Union’s highest point for
  policy of a revolutionary renewal of the world. By the mid 1950s the ever mounting difficulties
  compelled the Soviet leadership to make a turn toward normalcy; i.e. to acquiesce to
  a partial scrapping of some of their revolutionary doctrines and moving on to a policy of
  peaceful co-existence with capitalism. Yet, the spiraling of the world-wide socialist system
  into crisis was picking up. There occurred some loosening of the hegemony of the Soviet
  Communist Party accompanied by a drastic politico-ideological polarization within the
  world communist movement. In fact, the course on advancing the world revolutionary process
  and simultaneously the policy of peaceful co-existence were clashing with each other
  constantly. By the mid 1980s the race against capitalism had been lost, whereas the effects
  of western soft power had been steadily growing. Perestroika and glasnost helped free the
  minds of the masses but did not resolve the crisis of the Soviet system. This opened the way
  to a series of bourgeois revolutions and the disintegration of the USSR and of the world
  socialist system.
