Max Boot: How a Myth About the Collapse of the Soviet Union Leads Republicans Astray on China
Solidarity founder Lech Walesa and Pope John Paul II were the most responsible of anyone.
Americans really have no idea what's going on.
In September 1981, Solidarity elected Walesa as its president. In October, state security forces attempted to poison Walentynowicz. In November, the government declared martial law, possibly to forestall a Soviet intervention, though this remains debated. Over the next few years, Walentynowicz would serve a bunch of time in detention camps. Nine workers were killed protesting at a coal mine in December. In 1982, another wave of mass demonstrations led to more workers dying. The CIA got involved at this point and funneled money to Solidarity.

Who was President when the CIA got involved?
Without the West's pressure, there's absolutely no way Walesa and Solidarity survives.
I don't understand why the West continues to tear down its heros
