Solidarity, the Polish trade union and social movement, played a significant role in undermining Soviet power by challenging the authoritarian regime and inspiring similar movements across Eastern Europe. Its emergence in the early 1980s demonstrated the potential for grassroots resistance against Soviet control, leading to greater calls for reform and democratization. The movement's success in Poland encouraged other countries in the region to rise against Soviet influence, ultimately contributing to the collapse of communist regimes throughout Eastern Europe and the dissolution of the Soviet Union itself. Thus, while solidarity was not the sole factor, it was a crucial catalyst in the broader wave of change.
