END OF COMMUNISM

GORBACHEV’S PROBLEMS 1. Poor economy inherited from Brezhnev 2. Corruption 3. Excessive military spending 4. Unwinnable war in Afghanistan

GORBACHEV’S PROGRAMS 1. Glasnost – “openness” freedom of expression” Result: Lots of criticism of the Communist govt. 2. Perestroika – economic reform Result: Didn’t work 3. Democratizatsya - democratization Result: New Constitution makes government separate from Communist Party; more choice in elections 4. Abandonment of Brezhnev Doctrine Result: Eastern European satellites reject communism.

FALL OF COMMUNISM 1. Gorbachev abandons Brezhnev Doctrine 2. Election in Poland; Solidarity wins all seats it runs for; people reject Communism. 3. Hungary opens borders, takes down “iron curtain” 4. East Germans flee to Hungary; Berlin Wall opened 5. Czechoslovakia has “Velvet Revolution” 6. Romania’s dictator violently overthrown 7. “Demokratzatsiya” in Soviet Union 7. August Coup in 1991 discredits Gorbachev; boosts reformer Yeltsin 8. Soviet Union dissolves; Christmas, 1991.
