The Soviet union upheaval, is a historical dialectical process, is not accidental, but has a profound reasons in many aspects. In recent years, cultural factors of special function is more and more widely attention, foreign scholars are introduced from the perspective of "soft power" of the Soviet union related situation, thought the Soviet union upheaval in large part because the Soviet’s soft power, the country to absorb and draw lessons from the rational content of "soft power" concept, put forward the concept of cultural soft power, the concept of the research question for us to provide a new Angle of view, for our analysis of the Soviet union upheaval this major historical events have certain reference significance.This article attempts from the perspective of cultural soft power is the as the breakthrough point, the system combing the Soviet union upheaval of cultural soft power factor. First to define the concept of cultural soft power, in reference to the development of the theory of western and Chinese cultural soft power theory, Chinese scholars put forward the concept of cultural soft power, the Chinese, through the analysis and comparison of various about the concept of cultural soft power, cultural soft power is of a nation’s traditional culture, values, ideology and culture factors in a country not only the internal cohesion and mobilization force and spiritual motivation, but also for other countries to produce penetration, attractive and convincing, from both inside and outside two aspects constitute the country’s cultural soft power, the country’s comprehensive strength and international competitiveness. By reference to the classification of the Beijing university of Chinese soft power group from three levels of culture, traditional culture, elegant culture and popular culture) the source of the paper from the view of cultural soft power, this paper divides the source of the cultural soft power into traditional cultural soft power, the dominant culture of soft power, elegant cultural soft power and popular cultural soft power. Then according to the actual situation of the Soviet union, a systematic analysis of the traditional culture of soft power of the Soviet union, the dominant culture of soft power, elegant cultural soft power and the history of popular culture soft strength conditions and on the role of the Soviet union upheaval, the influence of Russian historical and cultural traditions, still penetration in the blood of the new regime, and on the road to the future development of it deeply brand: the supremacy of the orthodox church on the one hand, established the tsar at home, on the other hand also for its foreign expansion policy provides a sufficient theoretical basis, is the important thought of the big Russia chauvinism origin; 13 th-century Mongol conqueror make Russia country on the path of the tsarist autocracy; Farmers in country in Russia, the village of the formation of the national spirit and national character has a very important role, show the special emphasis on the individual to community attachment, collectivism cultural psychology deeply, lack of romantic and rational spirit; In the case of "eastern" as the main body, and there is a long and deep influence of western culture, has a complex structure of culture. In terms of ideological construction, the communist party leadership and misreading of Marxist cultural paradigm, objectively formed a kind of cultural radicalism and dogmatism construction mode, it will affect the Soviet union’s cultural soft power effect, leading to the Soviet culture soft strength can’t get to play the positive effect, while the Soviet union upheaval is rooted in from Khrushchev to gorbachev gradually from, deviation and ultimately betrayed socialism, Marxism, as well as the masses of the people’s fundamental interests. To the leaders of the communist party of the Soviet union and its society, especially the intellectual and cultural communities in a variety of different views, opinions and thoughts take simple suppression methods, many could win through normal ideological confrontation and struggle over, or to their opposites, or will they into the "underground", upheaval planted hidden danger for the future. Study in elite home became the Soviet domestic liberalisation and a guider of human rights. In popular culture, a closed system, plus persistent exclude the influence of bourgeois culture, led to the Soviet union gave up the struggle, popular culture has never been in films, television, pop music, etc, and the United States for global influence, American music and movies made a profound impact on penetration into the Soviet union and, arguably, the hegemonism of the Soviet union and the United States formed a kind of peaceful evolution weaken Soviet culture soft strength of the resultant force, common in cultural and spiritual cracking in the communist party of the socialist system and the firm belief of communism ideal and pursuit. As the cultural and political, economic, social and a series of problems of convergence, present a domino effect, therefore, cultural soft power is an important reason of the Soviet union upheaval.
