The signal for the end of Soviet Union began in the early 1980s. Soviet Union suffered economically and there were clamors for reforms. The end of the communism heralded with the fall of Berlin wall on November 9, 1989 and the unification of Germany. The other countries of the Eastern Europe, who were eagerly looking for independence from Soviet Union, took advantage of the situation and overthrew their Communist governments. The final collapse of the communism was thus completed in 1991.
