Collapse of the Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc
Eastern European citizens became bold and spoke against their governments. Gorbachev allowed citizens choose their own government and Soviet troops were not to be involved, causing the collapse of the eastern bloc as the people chose non communist governments. In Soviet Union, without the support of his government, after the August coup, with the internal problems, the people not used to change and losing confidence in the government and leadership, Gorbachev resigned as the president on 25th December 1991 with Soviet Union dissolved the next day.
