The short answer is: the West. However, there is a longer answer which may well show that it was only won with the help of the various peoples in the USSR. Whether they regret that now is another matter. As with most ideologies, these cannot be turned on or off like a tap. Russia still has leanings towards communism, I guess but this will gradually erode as the new generations grow up. Regrettably, exposing communism as a wothless project only leaves a vacuum and this is being filled by other ideologies such as muslim fundamentalism. Where communism still exists, those countries suffer horrendous public deterioration, poverty, early death, famine, fear, lack of proper education and downright destitution - except, of course, for the people actually pulling the strings and creaming off the wealth often provided by well-meaning but misguided 'free' countries.

US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt is an idiot since he IGNORED his officials about the duplicity of Chiang Kai-shek, he SHOULD had trusted Mao Zedong,who had integrity. US President Richard Milhouse Nixon opened the doors to Mao Zedong and the People's Republic of China too late. US President Ronald Wilson Reagan defeated the Soviet Union and made the United States of America from the World's Number One Creditor nation into the Number One Debtor. US President George Walker Bush almost started World War 3 regarding electronic surveillance, BUT how the US owes possibly over $120,000,000 YES over 120 billion US Dollars to Communist China. They own the US baby. 谢谢æ¨çé± or Thank you for your money in US English.

After the fall of the Soviet Union in 1989-91, I think the winner of the Cold War is chaos, utter and complete chaos.
The world is much more dangerous and if the world is not careful and band together against the current evils of this world, society will be doomed. To bad everyone wants to blame the United States, because they are deluding themselves at their own peril.

I recall sitting on a bar stool watching the news, a year or so after the Iron Curtain came down, listening to an article about how were were giving Russia a $180 billion grant. The fella sitting next to me has a masters degree in political science. I am musing to myself, out loud evidently, saying, "Nikita said it best! When he said, we will bury you from within!" when I hear, "that is deep" statement come over my left shoulder.
The ensuing conversation invited the lawyer sitting to the right of me. The points made in that discussion had nothing to do with other countries, but with what we were doing to ourselves.
99% of the people here would disagree with me, but I see isolationist policies made under this whole idea of globalization. It is fostering everything from national pride to racial pride. We can see it here even on the economic level. A narrowing of the middle class, indicates another point of dissent from isolationist policies.
To answer your question directly, all we have to do is ask ourselves what we did. The cold war was nothing more than point and counterpoint. Who had the right point is a political difference of opinion. Who won the war? They did and not just Russia.

The Cold War? Do you have any idea what that was? You sound like you are very confused. The cold war was military build up between the USA and the Soviet Union. With the collapse of the Soviet Union we won the Cold War.

has it ended yet?...lately, the chinese sent a missile to outerspace that rammed an old sattelite... after north korea nuclearised, the other south and japan are considering to have one. US continuously developing better bombs and missile systems; and topping the sales of military equipments to nuclear countries like india and pakistan. while US sanctions venezuela, chavez is giving away free oil to poor neighbors expecting an anti-american sentiment and a vote as their sense of gratitude. russia is moving backwards, moscow curtails voting rights and press freedom, jail the anti-gov businessmen, sakhalin reserve? what happen to shell?...and, threat their neighbors of military action or cutting off from the pipeline, besides russia is consistent opponent to US and allies. while iran under a heavy embargo from the states for wanting a nuke?, she can't be defied to have one, and later she will. so does it mean more tension to US? then we have a cold war...c:
