Discuss the Soviet bloc in the 1970s and 1980s. Explain the fall of communism in east-central Europe in 1989

What will be an ideal response?


Ans: The influence of the Helsinki Accords and the changing role of the Soviet Union under Gorbachev should be examined as a complement to specific developments in the region: Charter 77, Solidarity, Hungarian reforms, the end of communism in Poland, and the cascading collapse of other east-central communist governments. The best essays should incorporate Havel's analysis, mentioned in the textbook, and the 1989 revolutions.
