1956 Georgian demonstrations The March 1956 demonstrations (also known as the 1956 Tbilisi riots or 9 March massacre) in the Georgian SSR were a series of protests against Nikita Khrushchev's de-Stalinization policy, which shocked Georgian supporters of Marxist–Leninist–Stalinist ideology. The center of the protests was the republic's capital, Tbilisi, where spontaneous rallies to mark the third anniversary of Stalin's death and to protest Khrushchev's denunciation of Stalin quickly evolved into an uncontrollable mass demonstration and rioting which paralyzed the city. Soon, political demands such as the change of the central government in Moscow and calls for the independence of Georgia from the Soviet Union appeared.

Era of Stagnation The Era of Stagnation (Russian: Период застоя , Stagnation Period, also called the Brezhnevian Stagnation) was a period of negative economic, political, and social effects in the Soviet Union, dubbed by a generic term "stagnation", which began during the rule of Leonid Brezhnev (1964–1982) and continued under Yuri Andropov (1982–1984) and Konstantin Chernenko (1984–1985). Industrial growth rates declined during the 1970s as heavy industry and the arms industry were prioritised while Soviet consumer goods were neglected. In 1985 the Communist Party under Mikhail Gorbachev began efforts to accelerate development through massive injections into heavy industry "(Uskoreniye)". When these failed, the Communist Party restructured "(perestroika)" the Soviet economy and government by introducing quasi-capitalist "(Khozraschyot)" and democratic "(demokratizatsiya)" reforms, which were intended to re-energize the Soviet Union but inadvertently led to its dissolution in 1991.

1968 Polish political crisis The Polish 1968 political crisis, also known in Poland as March 1968 or March events (Polish: "Marzec 1968; wydarzenia, wypadki marcowe" ), pertains to a major student and intellectual protest action against the government of the Polish People's Republic. The crisis resulted in the suppression of student strikes by security forces in all major academic centres across the country and the subsequent repression of the Polish dissident movement. It was also accompanied by a mass emigration following an antisemitic (internally branded "anti-Zionist" at the time) campaign waged by the minister of internal affairs, General Mieczysław Moczar, with the approval of First Secretary Władysław Gomułka of the Polish United Workers' Party. The protests coincided with the events of the Prague Spring in neighboring Czechoslovakia – raising new hopes of democratic reforms among the intelligentsia.
