There are many primary sources, especially these discussed, which help give insight into the origins, nature, course or consequences of the “August Revolution”, but when discussing these sources you must not take them at face value, you must bring it into context with the massive changes happening at this time in the world, like the end of the World War and the heating up of the Cold War.

Vision and Motivation Velvet Revolution demonstrationBy the second half of the 1980s, the political atmosphere in the Soviet Union and its satellite states was more relaxed than it had been in previous decades, due to Mikhail Gorbachev's introduction of two new governmental policies: Glasnost, a government effort to make the country's governance transparent and open to debate, and Perestroika, the restructuring of the Soviet political and economic system. Many historians cite the introduction of these two policies as a catalyst for many of the nonviolent democratic revolutions that erupted in Soviet-bloc countries.[1] Czechoslovakia's Communist Party took efforts to prevent Gorbachev's reforms from being enacted at home, where an autocratic
The two themes that we found throughout all three revolutions were political grievances and social injustice. Political grievances basically means that the leaders of the people prior to the revolution were unsatisfactory. For example, King Louis XIV was the leader of France before the French Revolution. Under his rule, his people experienced shortages in bread and an unfair taxing system. They deemed the king unsatisfactory because of the way they were being treated, they got rid of the king, taking his power and later having him guillotined.

When Mikhail Gorbachev came on power in March 1985, he was determined to change and revitalize the whole country after many years of stagnation during Brezhnev’s ruling. He wanted to do this by modernizing and changing elite and the whole system in Communist Party by implementing reforms that were called Glasnost and Perestroika. What he actually wanted was end of Stalinist system and begin of socialist system that was truly democratic. Many saw Gorbachev’s way of ruling and enthusiasm as a threat for the Soviet Union, because they thought that it had lost its traditional discipline, organization, and ideology that provided a shell to the Soviet political order. Many would say that the Gorbachev’s reconstruction of the Soviet political and economic system did cost USSR of dissolution and did cause a fall of communism in Europe, but on the other side, there were many other causes that influenced on that before Gorbachev’s coming on power.
Choosing a career path can be challenging for some individuals, but this is not always the case for others. As for me, it has always been clear the career field of my choice since I was very young. While I was growing up, I always knew that I was inclined in becoming a physician. One of my past times as a child was to pretend that I was a doctor.
