The 'red scare' always mostly existed in the imagination of Americans and right-wing Europeans. The Soviet Union had suffered immensely in WW 2 and its military politics were mostly aimed at preventing that something like that should ever happen to them again. And for the rest of 'trying to keep up' with US Military developments. The rest of the red scare was the USSR's efforts in gaining spheres of political influence worldwide, the same stategy that dominates US foreign politics to this day.

The event that you are looking for probably is the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
