Hello. during some games, I could not get these options, could someone tell me exactly how to get them? "repetition of the past" (poland): option 4, "perestroika" (ussr): option 2 and 3, "Albanian gorbachev" (albania): option 3, also you could tell me how to get the events on "Gorbachev's death? ", and" the Hungarian crossing "? thank you

Gorbachev's Death: There are a number of events that happen as the socialist camp rating goes down. These must happen rapidly, to the point the Warsaw Pact dissolves before the end of 1990. Normally the Parade of Sovereignties happens and the Baltic countries break away, then if you have a high enough Agent rating you can help save the USSR. But if it happens in 1990, you will instead get a note saying Gorbachev is shot and killed and the SEC succeeds without your help. Of course, then you must go back to the USSR.

I think this is the requirement anyway. I never saw it until I played Albania and it happened that way. Since you "Albania" are included in the countries that go back to the USSR, suddenly you are in the CMEA and the Warsaw Pact and your budget problems are over. I jumped from making 0.7 money each week to 4.5 money. Other countries I think it'd be very difficult to get this if only because it will trigger bad events and budget crises for you that will end the game.

edit: After some experimenting, it seems that to get this ending, you must not liberalize too much. I did the same thing where USSR collapsed before 1991, but this time I westernized quickly and integrated with NATO, choosing all the West-oriented choices. No Gorbachev being assassinated.
