Yes.
The causes of the east german revolution in 1989 was Gorbachev and the churches: Gorbachev's glasnost came to East Germany.
Gorbachev's looser policies allowed for East Germany could break its ties with the USSR.
He was the leader of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union greatly controlled East Germany.
The leaders of the two German states at the time of the fall of the Berlin Wall were: West Germany: Helmut Kohl East Germany: Erich Honneker (ironically the man responsible for overseeing its construction in the first place)
Mikhail Gorbachev did not take down any physical wall. However, he played a significant role in the dismantling of the symbolic Berlin Wall, which separated East and West Berlin during the Cold War. Gorbachev's policies of Glasnost (openness) and Perestroika (restructuring) allowed for a more open political climate, leading to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
When Stalin left power, his predecessor, Mikhail Gorbachev, created a government in which the people were allowed to have their say. His policy 'Glasnost' or "openness" created a government in which the people were allowed to protest the wall. Eventually, the people won, and the war was torn down. Reunification of East and West Germany commenced and the East began to prosper, which they hadn't done under communist rule.
Stalin was a brutal dictator. Gorbachev brought about the relaxing of the Cold War, and enabled east and west Berlin to become united as the capital of Germany once more.

Garbachyov the barbaric moskal was awarded the nobel peace prize in 1990.
crowds of Gemans began scrambling over the walls and less than a year later, Germany had became a single country again
WW2 would have ended much as it did irrespective of Hitler committing suicide or not: The important factor is that the death of Hitler did release the Germans from their oath of allegiance to him.
The original challenge of actually tearing down the wall, came from US President, Ronald Reagan. In 1987, President Reagan made a speech in front of the Brandenburg Gate, (now referred to as the "Tear Down This Wall Speech".) at the Berlin wall, in which he challenged then Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev to "tear down this wall". At the time this speech was delivered, few believed that the wall would actually be destroyed. President Reagan's challenge to Gorbachev to "tear down this wall" was in direct response to Gorbachev's policy of perestroika. Reagan felt that Gorbachev needed to follow through with actual changes, and not simply "HEAR" about reform, and openness, and policy change.Two years later, when the wall was finally destroyed in 1989, many in East Germany and West Germany, wanted the wall destroyed.A LOT of people had that idea.
