Except for czech. their economies were declining in the 1980s: bulgaria: came to power due to power-sharing agreement. He also pretended to do reforms: in comparison to greece, they were doing much worst. Greece was on the incline after 1945: he realized that his time was ending and he played the nationalist card (1988). Blamed the minority, and were portrayed as traitors (muslims): choice convert or leave to turkey. Many of them would return after the fall but many of them would still remain second-class citizens: the nationalist card did change much in the country, romania: the most repressive system (after gdr). Little education but he was with the communist from the beginning. When dej died, he took over even though being the youngest one.
