The End of Bipolarity

The wrong statement is people enjoyed economic freedom. The chapter says the Soviet economy had state ownership, planned and controlled production, and the political system was highly bureaucratic and authoritarian, so citizens did not enjoy economic freedom like in a capitalist system.

Chronological order:
1. Russian Revolution — 1917
2. Soviet invasion of Afghanistan — 1979
3. Fall of the Berlin Wall — 1989
4. Disintegration of the Soviet Union — 1991
So the correct sequence is d, a, b, c.

The chapter lists the consequences as: end of Cold War confrontations, change in power relations/world order, and emergence of new countries like CIS states. It does not mention crises in the Middle East as an outcome of the USSR's disintegration.

From the chapter:
- Mikhail Gorbachev introduced reforms in 1985.
- Shock Therapy was the economic model used for transition.
- Russia became the successor state of the USSR.
- Boris Yeltsin became President of Russia.
- Warsaw refers to the Warsaw Pact, a military pact.
So the matches are i-c, ii-d, iii-a, iv-e, v-b.

The blanks are filled from the chapter:
- Soviet political system was based on socialist ideology.
- Warsaw Pact was the military alliance started by the USSR.
- The Communist party dominated the political system.
- Mikhail Gorbachev initiated reforms in 1985.
- The fall of the Berlin Wall symbolised the end of the Cold War.
