Why didn’t you stop it you 
I have a childhood memory of my parents and grandparents huddled around the TV watching coverage of the how the USSR was dissolving, so I guess it was around Christmas 1991. I kept trying to get my dad to look at a toy or something, then he said something like "not now, this is important." I asked "what is it?"
He said something like "This means there's not gonna be fighting in the world anymore. All the Russians are dying." And for years I literally thought America had stopped an alien invasion or something (I was a dumb kid and had no idea what the USSR was until I was like 10)
Take bets on if my child brain didn't understand what he said or if my dad thought Russians were going extinct
Third guess is that he didn't quite know what language to use to describe dissolution of a country to a toddler. My dad is not an eloquent man
Looking at mortality rates he wasn't wrong about the last bit. Life expectancy fell like 10 years or so
