RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Las crisis recurrentes en Europa del este y el año 1989 : El caso de Checoslovaquia A1 Pérez Sánchez, Guillermo Ángel A1 Martín de la Guardia, Ricardo Manuel A2 Ediciones Universidad de Valladolid AB Quickly and unexpectedly, in parallel with degradation suffered during the decade 1980's -the decade of "great change": epitome of recurrent crises produced in previous decades-, the political, economic and social system imposed by the USSR in Eastern Europe was irrevocably broken. If at first it was thought that the Soviet-type system was in one of its periodic (recurrent) crises, the strength of the events came to show that the crisis of the 1980s would be the last one. Indeed, the revolutionary events experienced since 1989 in Poland, Hungary and East Germany had a decisive influence on the Czech and Slovakian where the slogan emerged that, by uniting the main characters of the 'velvet revolution', perfectly illustrated the illusions of those unrepeatable moments: "Poland, ten years; Hungary, ten months; East Germany, ten weeks; Czechoslovakia, ten days..." (not to mention which in Romania was only ten hours).
