Stories usually begin with a beginning, but in the case of the '89 revolution it starts with an end. There will be plenty of coverage of this anniversary, but here are links to some of the A/V on the '89 revolution that I've heard or watched. While Ukraine isn't covered directly, much of what is covered on the events is worth a listen.
