I don't know if the answer is relevant to the question and my grammar is pretty bad but, better have something than nothing.

One of Gorbachev's policies was Glasnost- meaning 'openness' or 'a making public'. His aim of this policy was to have a more free exchange of ideas, more debate about current issues and controversies. The -policy was going slowly under way, in April 1986 a terrible accident took place at a nuclear power station near Chernobyl Ukraine. In results of this explosion there was a massive radiation released which spread across Belorussia, Poland and into Scandinavia. Poland has banned some of the food because of the radiation. In the second stage of perestroika the elections had big influence on Poland and then on Hungary that was Poland's and Hungary's first encouragement and desire to have partial freedom which in conclusion later on led to the collapse of communism in the satellite states. 'As soon as Gorbachev came to power he made clear to the leaders of the satellite state that the USSR would no longer interfere in their internal affairs.'

The collapse of communism started in Poland. Jaruzelski was in power since 1981 he tried to improve the economy by all means though always failed. Talks began in February 1988 later on Solidarity has been allowed to be a political party, in the elections held in June 1989 Solidarity has won 92 out of 100 seats in lower house. Jaruzelski was narrowly elected President thanks to the communist seats and he chose a solidarity member, Mazowiecki, as his prime minister. In 1990 Lech Walesa came to power . 'The peaceful revolution in Poland was complete.'
