The Australian band, The Living End, on their 2006 album, State of Emergency, informed the world that Nothing Lasts Forever. Proof of this is illustrated vividly when you consider that on the 7th in 1990, the Central Committee of the Soviet Communist Party agreed to give up its monopoly of power thus paving the way for the implosion of the Union of Soviet Socialists Republics. The first to go was Estonia when on March 30, 1990 the Supreme Council declared Soviet power illegal. Latvia followed suit on May 4, 1990.
