Meyer is widely credited with being the first senior U.S. Government official to forecast the Soviet Union's collapse.

Herbert Meyer may have been the first government offical to predict the collapse of the USSR, but Peter Drucker, Management Guru Extrordinaire, was probably the first, during the 1970s.

He based it on (surprise surprise) demographics, specifically the declining life expectancy of Russian men, mainly due to alcoholism.
