Compare the ways that European nations, other than Russia, moved away from communist rule.

The main difference between the way in which Russia abandoned communism and the way in which the other countries of the Warsaw Pact did so was that Russia was part of the Soviet Union, which dissolved for political reasons without social revolutions; while the rest of the nations did so through popular revolutions known as the Revolutions of 1989.

Explanation:

The revolutions in Eastern Europe in 1989 were a series of events in which many of the Communist Party regimes that ruled several Eastern European countries since the mid-late 1940s were forced to give up power, following a series of popular protests.

The fall of the communist regimes was associated with perestroika in the USSR and began with the Polish People’s Republic, followed by massive protests that led to a change of power in East Germany, Czechoslovakia and Bulgaria, as well as reforms initiated by the communist authorities in Hungary. The change of power was non-violent, except in Romania.
