A day that changed the course of German history forever: On November 9, 1989 the pressures of revolution brought down the Berlin Wall. This episode of History Stories illustrates how months of protests and mass demonstrations lead up to this fateful day. Archival footage of news coverage of the events as they unfolded is paired with powerful statements from East Berliners as they crossed over to the other side.

What the Soviets did to the Russian people is exactly the same as what any small tyrannical group has done to any nation from the beginning of time.

The perpetrators of tyranny are to blame, not the people it was perpetrated upon.

What position does the “US Commission for International Religious Freedom” take on satanism or child torture? What does this “Olga” character speak about these atrocities? So far, Putin is the only one among them who speaks out against them.

The ‘’people’’ over threw the czar and put these ‘’councils’’ in existence. As I said, they didn’t fall out of the clouds. The Russian people inflicted this on themselves.

No, you got it wrong.

The Bolsheviks were an artificially orchestrated group driven by the cabal of the day. They people had nothing to do with it.

The people had every thing to do with it. The stormed the damned Winter Palace.

You keep missing the point.

It was Russians who did this to themselves.

No, you have it wrong.

The revolution was paid for. The Bolsheviks worked for the deep state of that time and place.
