The correct answer is - The Cyrillic alphabet and Olga's selection of the Byzantine Church.
The Russians saw themselves as Slavic people, so when Kliment and Naum from Ohrid in Macedonia reformed the Glagolic alphabet and turned it to the Cyrillic, and it started to spread around among the Slavic people, it came natural for the Russians to accept it and use it, thus separating them from the countries that were using the Latin alphabet.
Also, Olga's decision to accept the Byzantine Church, instead of the Roman Church, had huge impact on the relations of the Russians with the western part of the continent, thus making them move away from their ideals and perceptions.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although you did not attach any context to the above-mentioned quotation or further references, we are going to assume that you are referring to Solidarity, the social moment in Poland that turned into a worker union that opposed the Communist government.
I have to say that a don't agree with the statement ‘Solidarity died as quickly as it started, having achieved nothing."
I consider that the Solidarity movement in Poland accomplished many things. Indeed, the strike of August 14, 1980, changed the political scenario in Eastern Europe.
The leader of the movement was Lech Walesa. Years later he won the presidential election of Poland. His victory and Vacláv Havel’s victory to become President of Czechoslovakia signified the transformation of Eastern Europe from dominance by the Soviet Union to new democracies.
So what started as a union movement in Communist time in Poland, ended up being a political party that got to power when Lech Walesa became the President of Poland in December 1990.
