The spread of communism
The collapse of communism in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe was a series of events that led to the dissolution of communist regimes in the late 1980s and early 1990s. This collapse was spurred by a combination of factors, including economic stagnation, political repression, and popular discontent. The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 symbolized the end of communist rule in Eastern Europe, while the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 marked the final collapse of communism in the region.

In all the countries the building of socialism had started (which is the dfirst step to Communism). The countries: Poland, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary and to some extent Yugoslavia.
Glasnost allowed Western ideas and practices to reach eastern Europe, which meant the decline of Soviet influence and the eventual breakup of the Russian-dominated union.
