2014 Eastern Bloc crisis

The 2014 Eastern Bloc crisis refers to a series of events and an ongoing period of political and social unrest across the Eastern Bloc and in the Eastern European Soviet Republics which has seen a resurrgence in tensions between the citizenry and governments of the Warsaw Pact member states not seen before since 1989. The crisis errupted in response to a series of policies that were created that favored the increase in power and influence of the Sino-Soviet Union over the Warsaw Pact which many saw as a violation of the Eastern Bloc Reformation Act of 1991 signed into law by Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev.
