Ten Historic Soviet Sites of Berlin

As a result of World War 2 and its aftermath,  the histories of the Soviet Union and Germany are inextricably linked.
Some of the most tumultuous world events of the 20th Century happened between these two countries, ultimately resulting in the division of Germany in 1945 and the Cold War for the next 44 years.

In 1990 Germany was reunified,  and in 1991 The USSR,  which at the time was the world's only other super power ,seemingly collapsed in weeks splitting into 16 independent states.

Now,  well into the 21st Century we can still find remnants of that turbulent period in human history in present day Berlin.

This video is a 10 stop tour of historical 20th century soviet related sites in Berlin and their story.
