- Problems in West Berlin
- Berlin was still divided in the 60's
- The USSR controlled the east and the USA promised freedom in the west
- In 1961 Krushchev closed the boarder and ordered construction of a wall
- Many of those leaving were skilled and qualified workers
- When the wall was first built Russians viewed it as successful propaganda
- However as time went on it became a symbol of all that was bad about soviet rule
- This wall symbolised the divided world
- It was a concrete symbol of ideological division between "free world" and "communist world"
