Farewell Comrades! – Wars (Episode 2)

December 1991: Mikhail Gorbachev, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, calls the main Western heads of state. Shortly after, in a televised speech, Mikhail Gorbachev announces: “I quit my duties as President of the USSR.” He ends 80 years of history. It is an unexpected outcome to the grand communist vision that had held the world in anticipation since the October Revolution in 1917.

2. Episode: Wars (1980-1984)

The super nation begins to disintegrate at it’s borders: The visit of pope John Paul II in 1979 in Poland gives the essential impulse for the Solidarnosc-strikes at the Danzig shipyards, the Afghanistan war soon becomes a military and economical disaster and leads to the final boycott of the Moscow Olympic Games by the West. As the Cold War heats up, the Soviet leadership is in bad shape: Within a
few months Brezhnev and the subsequent leader Andropov die. In the Satellite States the old ruling elites have also lost touch and dept overload and economic stagnation lead to raising discontentment among the citizens.
