I'm seeing the Communist regime in my country (Cuba) on the verge of a collapse. I'd like to know what happened in the former Communist countries in the 90s and hopefully learn what worked, what didn't, and what to expect from the transition that would follow.
Direct answers, reading materials, and documentaries/movies are all welcomed.
Hi there anyone interested in recommending things to OP! While you might have a title to share, this is still a thread on /r/AskHistorians, and we still want the replies here to be to an /r/AskHistorians standard - presumably OP would have asked at /r/history or /r/askreddit if they wanted non-specialist opinion. So give us some indication why the thing you're recommending is valuable, trustworthy, or applicable! Posts that provide no context for why you're recommending a particular podcast/book/novel/documentary/etc, and which aren't backed up by a historian-level knowledge on the accuracy and stance of the piece, will be removed.
