Cristelle Comby - Red Lies

At the couple’s back, two thousand miles east of Cornwall, the Soviet Union was standing on its last leg. As Sofiya had feared, the fallout of the Chernobyl disaster was the last straw that broke the camel’s back of a frail economy already undermined by an endless war in Afghanistan.

In the not-too-distant future, the subsequently attempted reforms will leave the Soviet Union unwilling to rebuff challenges to its control in Eastern Europe. During 1989 and 1990, the Berlin Wall will come down, borders will open, and free elections will oust communist regimes everywhere in Eastern Europe.

Finally, in late 1991, the Soviet Union itself will dissolve into its component republics, and the Iron Curtain will be lifted once and for all as the Cold War comes to an end.
