1989 Events in Eastern Europe countries in the context of definition «revolution»

Oleksandr Sych

Abstract


The author wonders to what extent the events of 1989 corresponded to generally accepted ideas about the revolution? He considers that in the characteristics of those events, the word «revolution» was not chosen very well.  On the other hand, the reforms that began in Eastern Europe after rapid and dramatic events of 1989 were undoubtedly of revolutionary character.
