A day that changed the course of German history forever: On November 9, 1989 the pressures of revolution brought down the Berlin Wall. This episode of History Stories illustrates how months of protests and mass demonstrations lead up to this fateful day. Archival footage of news coverage of the events as they unfolded is paired with powerful statements from East Berliners as they crossed over to the other side.

This event wasn't just the end of the Cold War and the start of the reunification of Germany. This moment marked the end of Russian domination and enslavement in Eastern Europe. All of the horrors of the Russian dictatorship suddenly collapsed under the weight of oppression. People sought freedom.

This is something to remember when people in Europe are once again fighting back Russian domination and enslavement.

The man responsible for this infamous date in history:

 

[reasonisfaith]

You mean Soviet domination.

It was not Russian domination.

[reasonisfaith]

The Soviets were Russia’s state. A century ago, they did to Russia what our deep state is doing to us.

The difference is the American deep state has been doing it to us slowly, over many decades.

[reasonisfaith]

Each nation has its version of the deep state.

Each deep state works for the globalist agenda.

The globalists are satanic pediphiles, and they kill children.

[linMcHlp]

You are correct: “Russian domination”

[Lurker]

“You mean Soviet domination.”

A distinction without a difference.

[reasonisfaith]

The Soviets were the enemy of Russia.

[MeganC]

God bless Ronald Reagan!

[Lurker]

“The Soviets were the enemy of Russia.”

Uh huh.

[MeganC]

If Russia and Putin claim the right to reconquer the Soviet Empire then Russia and the USSR are the same thing. No difference. None whatsoever.

[reasonisfaith]

Maybe you’ll understand it better when I put it this way: The effect of the Soviet Union on the Russian people was devastating economically, socially and industrially. Russia was oppressed by the Soviets to the depths of its soul.

[reasonisfaith]

If you still can’t understand what I’m saying, then I challenge you to contemplate the number of people in control of the Soviet Union compared with the number of people they were controlling.

[reasonisfaith]

Whenever you have a totalitarian state, the government is the enemy of its people.

The Soviets were the enemy of the Russian people.

[Lurker]

“Russia was oppressed by the Soviets to the depths of its soul.”

Under the Soviets the Russian people were oppressed by a bunch of criminal gangsters who used communism as cover. These days the Russian people are people are oppressed by a bunch of criminal gangsters who don’t bother with a political cover.

[reasonisfaith]

The Soviets were overthrown by the people of Russia, and by good men, some of whom were Americans, working with the currency of the day.

[reasonisfaith]

No, the Soviets used communism as a tool not a cover.

These days the Soviets are gone. Russians have significantly greater freedom than they had under the Soviets.

[Lurker]

“Russians have significantly greater freedom than they had under the Soviets.”

As long as they’re no threat to Putin, anyway.

[MeganC]

The USSR took a nap and Putin, a New Soviet Man, woke it up.

[reasonisfaith]

Everything you think you know about Putin was told to you by the lying media.
