The Berlin wall fell in November, not December, 1989.
4. The Great Aliyah
Joe ,   Hadera   (06.04.19)
To complete the historical significance of the fall of communism one must understand that this watershed moment enabled the Aliya of one million russian jews and sealed the bond of the Jewish people to our land...the Arabs came to understand that, demographically, we cannot now be moved. A truly historical event.
Thucydides: "I lived through the whole of it, being of an age to comprehend events, and giving my attention to them in order to know the exact truth about them".

1/ Or it gave commies 2 and half years to fix things so they wouldn't end up losers. 2/ Elections weren't "free&democratic"; they were half free&half democratic, ending with Jaruzelski president and Kiszczak minister of interior. Give us a break, Plocker.
10. I don't see much change
shmulke   (06.07.19)
The USSR, smarting from its military wards' defeat in the Six Day War, started creating and disseminating propaganda demonizing Israel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_anti-Zionism
All the Soviet agitprop about "genocide", "apartheid", "ethnic cleansing", "like the nazis" etc. is still widely accepted by millions and millions of Arabists and leftists even now, 30 years after the fall of the Soviet Union. The source of these lies needs to be better-known, and the lies debunked.
