How was everyday life like in Eastern Europe in the year after the collapse of the Soviet Union?

Ever since the collapse of the Soviet Union, and even before so, the economy of Eastern Europe was in shambles. After the collapse, there was high unemployment, drops in population, slow economic growth, etc. Some former Soviet countries are still in tough economic times from the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the current European debt crisis isn't helping. However, people generally remained joyful and optimistic, simply because they had finally defeated communism and were able to switch to democracy.


How did the collapse of the Soviet Union lead to the end of the Cold War and German renunification?

The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 signaled the end of the Cold War to many, because it left the United States in monoply. Also, with the fall of the Soviet economy, there was not enough financial stability to control anything outside of its own countries. This allowed Germany to reunite once again, and also let West Germany restructure East Germany's failed planned economy. The United State's interverence in West Germany's economy may have had something to do with the fact that it was so successful. Overall, the fall of the Soviet Union led to many events, two of them being Germany's reunification and the end of the Cold War.
