Berlin

?

Why did refugees leave?

Easy to get from East to West. East Berlin became the model for other satellite states.

The economic and political conditions of a communist society = Forced collectivisation of agriculture + end of private trading in East.

Shortages of consumer good that were cheap in the West.

No censorship or secret police in West Berlin + more freedom

High wages and standard of living
