Dear forum users, many argue about whether it is possible, whether the victory of the USSR and its allies in the Cold War. Today, I raise a close problem - in order to win, the Union needed to democratize its political system (just as the West needed to develop its social programs). The question...

There are many timelines dedicated to the victory of the Reds in the Cold War. All of them assess the fate of the world and humanity in different ways, but they all missed an important part of people's lives - culture (in the broadest sense of the word). In fact, many omit the "soul" of a...

Hi there! Maybe the other German ußers can help me here. Between the Fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the first free elections in the GDR in 1990, several new parties formed, among other the Alliance 90 (an alliance of the former opposition groups in the GDR). In the elections they received...
