One political ideology, more than any other has defined world events in the 20th Century. Communism was born of a ruthless political act: the murder of the Russian royal family by Lenin's Bolsheviks, which began one of the most bloody and terrifying periods of Russia's history. Seventy years later, the first crack in the monolith occurred with the fall of the Berlin Wall. It was the symbolic beginning of the end, which heralded the the collapse of the ideology, the Soviet Union and 70 years of Communist rule in Eastern Europe.
