Most people feel that the pros of the fall of the Berlin Wall far outweighed the cons. The main thing was that people from East and West Berlin, formerly a single city, were once again allowed to travel freely throughout all of Berlin. East Germans were no longer forced to remain in the East or risk being shot. One of the cons that hurt a lot of people in the short term was that in East Germany the government had previously controlled the economy, so that even though the people were poor, everybody had jobs. Once the wall came down the unemployment rate skyrocketed, and many people were unhappy for some time, until normal market conditions eventually corrected the imbalance.
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.
Russian did not leave the USSR. Rather, after the disastrous Soviet campaign in Afghanistan, satellites (Providences such as Georgia, Turkmenistan, Estonia, etc) started their own civil wars and pronounced themselves independent nations. After the Soviet Union collapse in 1991, almost every satellite was an independent country. Russian was one of those.
No, they are completely different in many ways. The Soviet Union no longer even exists. Some countries that were in it are now members of the European Union, but that is about the only connection.
The Soviet Union ceased to exist on December 26, 1991. Some countries chose not to participate, and some of them were Latvia, Lithuania, Georgia, and Armenia.
Some Eastern European nations tried to solve problems caused by the dissolution of the Soviet Union by instilling democratic governments. For example, Poland is a country that did this.

A demonstration of power designed to impress the Soviet Union.
China is in Asia. The Soviet Union no longer exists but some of the countries that were part of it were in Asia and others in Europe.
It is unlikely that Russia will revert back to the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union dissolved in 1991, and Russia has since transitioned to a democratic system. While there may be some nostalgia for the Soviet era, the current political and social landscape in Russia suggests that a return to the Soviet Union is not a realistic possibility.

No. Modern Germany is on the whole welcoming to Jews, and since the collapse of the Soviet Union about 100,000 Jews have settled there. That said, there are obviously some neo-Nazis but they have very little influence.
