Chapter 43: The End of the 80s (3)
"The Soviet Union will collapse. Within two years."
Their reaction to my prediction? Pretty damn intense.
“...The Soviet Union? No way, that’s impossible.”
“What are you planning this time, Miss?”
“Okay, but seriously—what the hell is a CDS?”
I gave a slow, silent nod, my face taking on a serious expression.
“Technically... two years after Eastern Europe crumbles. The USSR is already at its economic and political limit. Once Eastern Europe falls apart, they won’t last more than two years.”
December 26, 1991—the Soviet Union is officially dissolved. It's March 1989 right now, so there’s just over two years to go.
The directors glanced at each other, their faces stuck somewhere between confusion and disbelief.
They believed in me, so they trusted my words. But the future I was describing? They couldn’t process it.
If I hadn’t nailed Black Monday, they would’ve laughed me off completely. The idea of the Soviet Union collapsing... it’s that kind of wild.
I mean, we’re talking about one of the two superpowers of the world, standing shoulder to shoulder with the US—falling apart before ‘91 ends? Nobody here could even imagine that.
