USSR wholesale on democracy completely collapse Soviet Union and destroyed Russia economy for about a dacades till Putin came to power and retain some key aspects of state control economy and minimize the influence of the West.
USSR was dying way before the 1979 invasion of Afghanistan, in fact I would say the Sino-Soviet spilt of the 1960s and the invasions of Czechoslovakia,and Poland in 1968 led to death bells for the USSR
