      No, there was another one, interestingly at the exact same time, in Poland. They don’t like that one either.

          The Solidarity movement, started as a series of labor strikes, formed into a large trade union and then a political movement demanding workers’ rights, actual worker control over means of production, and similar socialist policies. It forced and won a public election in 1989, which in turn led to the end of communist (and Russian) rule in Poland.

            a political movement demanding workers’ rights, actual worker control over means of production, and similar socialist policies.

            They demanded this, won, and then ignored all of it and introduced neoliberal capitalism pretty much straight away?
