No it was the reforms that Gorbachev made that finally put the nail in the coffin
Perestroika - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gorbachev was right, USSR needed a political and economical reform, because the enormous stress it had during the second half of the Cold War that basically stopped their economic growth since the late 1970s.
But the problem is that the political and economical reform was not rightly implemented, that basically put USSR into its grave sooner.
If there was no political reform, USSR could perhaps last a bit longer, but the damaged done during the Cold War would eventually make them collapse, just a bit later.
