Summary/Abstract: The British media reported on most East European revolutions as the West's win in the Cold War. The Soviet Union obviously withdrew: it was in an economic crisis and unable to maintain its empire. Communism has failed as an economic system, and as a political ideology. Within this, the media have told the story "How West Won the East", holding the principle of "the power of the people," "the parliament," and "the free market". This paper highlights some of the images and themes in the news reports of these years and points to their fundamental contradictions.
