It's actually spelled Ankh. It's also known as the Ansata Cross and the Egyptian Cross.
The Ankh Cross is a looped Tau Cross and an old Egyptian hieroglyph meaning life. It sometimes goes by the exotic name Key of the Nile. There are several theories about the origin of this design. One suggestion is that the symbol looks like the posts that aligned the banks of the Nile River to indicate the high-water mark of floods. Since the floods bring new and fertile soil, this became the symbol of renewed life. Another theory to connect this hieroglyph to life, is from the symbolic representation of a sandal's thong with a loop going around the ankle. In ancient Egyptian, sandal thong and life had the same pronunciation (homophony). Deciding on a hieroglyph for sandal thong was relatively easy; they simply drew what they saw. But deciding on something for the less tangible life, was a challenge. So they used the hieroglyph that had the same sound. This occurs frequently in non-phonetic languages and is known as the Rebus Principle. (The English word ankleis derived from Indo-European ank.)
Ankh symbol, seen in the center of this ancient Egyptian relief And yet another theory goes that the Ankh symbol is a sketch of the womb, in addition to being a sketch of the sexual union of male and female genitalia. By extension, we imagine zest, energy, reproduction, regeneration, and immortality. For many civilizations using this symbol, the loop represented the sun and it was held by many gods including Atum, the sun-god of Heliopolis. The loop is also a perfect symbol that has neither beginning nor end, so it represents the eternal soul. The entire symbol is also a key, to unlock hidden mysteries in the Kingdom of the Dead and was often used in funeral rites. The symbol also represents the Tree of Life, with its trunk and foliage.

What is this? Fill in the blanks? Jeopardy? Oh, well, I'll give it a shot anyway.
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.
