While there is a wider view thats outside the bounds of this article unless sources make the connection For example many Latvian activists and emigre organizations looked on the Helsinki accord as the final nail in the betrayal coffin at the time With the passage of time scholars point to the accords mention of internally driven change as planting the seed for the eventual collapse of the Soviet Union So if a source states viewed as betrayal at the time but led to the collapse of the USSR and reestablishment of an independent state then that can be included as well Sources must make the connections not our personal editorial opinions
