A full generation has elapsed since the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) collapsed in late 1991. Two years earlier, in 1989, the socialist states of Eastern Europe gave way to a capitalism that forced its way in – the first salvo came when Hungary opened its border with Austria.
Three months later, on the 15th of June, Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev told the press in Bonn (West Germany) that the Berlin Wall “could disappear when the preconditions which brought it about cease to exist.” He did not list the preconditions, but he said, “Nothing is permanent under the Moon.” On the 9th of November, ....
