Even if oil prices and production increased dramatically in the early 90's, the damage was already done by then. Their economy might have coped with a 6 month reduction, but not 6+ years. Whatever happens to save the USSR from collapse needs to effectively replace the loss of income from oil, and do it almost immediately.
