    east germany collapsed because west germany hired neo nazi gangs to cause trouble and beat up pro GDR supporters astroturfing a movement when the majority actually wanted to remain in east germany. Also Gorbachev refused to back them if they cracked down on the aforementioned nazis

    it was very like Euromaiden but far more tragic

    some things like the reinstatement of the nazi laws, and the destruction of the palace of the republic were just plain vandalism and wanton destruction of something beautiful just because it made the west look ugly in comparison

        no because I learned this in a conversation with someone who knows a lot about east germany. We had a very good conversation and I learned lots of things but I can't really prove any of them
