The great Soviet Union was weakened by it's long war with Afghanistan, in addition to having spent itself into a corner with runaway military spending. Of course, as usual, there were probably a couple of hundred other things that contributed to the collapse.
The collapse of communism in Eastern Europe rapidly followed the fall of the great giant, the Soviet Union. With their giant benefactor no longer able to offer them financial and other support, the satellite communist bloc nations were left to fend for themselves. Most seem to have done alright for themselves, adapting to free democracy, while a few like Yugoslavia erupted into a boiling cauldron of ethnic hatred and internal fighting and bitter warfare that lasted the better part of the next decade.

The president of Cuba since 1940 was Batista, his enemy was Fidel Castro who had a strong belief in Communism. He ran for the Cuban House of Representatives but troops led by Batista stopped him and he was exiled to Mexico. In 1956, Castro invaded Cuba; they were crushed but escaped to the mountains--he was able to get communist followers slowly. In 1957, Castro forced waged guerrilla wars against the Cuban government. In 1959, Batista resgined and fled the country, this left Castro able to take control of the Cuban government and become dictator. Castro wanted Americans out of Cuba which led to bad ties with the U.S. Currently, Cuba is still communist, but ties between the two countries have improved, somewhat.

The Petrov Affair, which happened in 1954, was important because it led to the breaking of diplomatic relations between the Soviet Union and Australia and because it moved Australia much more firmly towards anti-communism.
Before the Petrov Affair, there was controversy within Australia as to how to respond to communism. Robert Menzies, then the Prime Minister, had tried to outlaw the Communist Party but had been overruled by the High Court and had lost in a referendum on the issue. This vote was extremely close, showing that there was a great deal of public sentiment on each side of the issue.
When the Petrov Affair happened, the dynamic changed and Australia became much more anti-communist for some years to come. This is seen most clearly in the fact that diplomatic relations between the two countries were severed and were not restored at all for five years.
How is the fear of communism like the fear of witches?
Both of these fears lead to a state of paranoia, because of the possibility that anyone could be a communist, or anybody could be a witch, and we might not even know. People can conceal their true nature and work in secret toward evil purposes. This motivates people to make constant enquiries either into people's political beliefs and associations, when they worry about communist subversion, or to try to determine who has made a pact with the devil or has some telltale sign of supernatural evil - do they own a black cat? And so on. Inevitably, innocent people are falsely accused and persecuted.

In the contest between communism (actually totalitarianism) and free enterprise, free enterprise won.
