I think the picture speaks for itself. I've never seen something so unserious.

There was also a huge shakeup under Gorbachev and his bloc, who put anti-communists in power everywhere they could and made sure to install lackeys who were willing to dismantle the system, then enacted privatization schemes that let them and their allies loot everything. A whole lot of people who got into positions of power after '85 would have specifically been chosen to facilitate liberalization and so they would naturally tend to be liberal ghouls eager to loot and enrich themselves.
And that's even before one gets into the second economy and the corruption it spread through officials that enriched themselves by facilitating smuggling and graft.
