June, 1953, East Germany.
Construction workers in East Berlin began the protests, demanding an increase in work hours and calling for a general strike. The call to strike was broadcast over Radio in the American Sector (RIAS) in West Berlin and heard throughout East Germany. Over a million workers in 700 cities and towns heeded the call to strike on June 17, 1953. The Soviet Union responded swiftly and harshly, declaring a state of emergency and sending in tanks to larger cities where protests were occurring.
October/November, 1956 - Hungary
Protesters took to the streets in Hungary in October, 1956, demanding freedom from Soviet domination and more democratic political processes. Soviet domination and oppression continued relentlessly, as the USSR sent tanks and troops and crushed the Hungarian Uprising. Thousands of Hungarians were killed or wounded and over 200,000 fled the country.
January-August, 1968 - Czechoslovakia
In January, 1968, the new leader in Czechoslovakia, Alexander Dubcek, launched the "Prague Spring" (as it became known). He sought to give communism "a human face," as he termed it, introducing many political and economic reforms. By August, the USSR responded by sending in 600,000 troops, and again those Soviet tanks. The revolution was put down.
These were all precursors of later revolutions. By 1989, the communist bloc countries of Eastern Europe could no longer sustain their governments and the USSR itself was weakening.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation which is also generally referred to as the FDIC was a New Deal program introduced by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933 and it was designed to prevent bank failures or bank runs and restore the public's faith in the banking system.
A bank run can be defined as a situation where bank clients or depositors make withdrawals of their money simultaneously from banks as a result of being scared or afraid the depository institution will run out of cash (bankruptcy) and become insolvent.
In order to counter the problem with bank runs, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) was established on the 16th of June, 1933.
Furthermore, to avoid bank runs or other financial institutions from being insolvent, the Federal Reserve (Fed) and Central banks (lender of last resort) are readily accessible and available to give monetary funds to these institutions when they're running out of money and as well as regulate their activities.
