Translation:
The Berlin Wall fell 35 years ago today.
In the German Democratic Republic (GDR, East Germany), the term "Berlin Wall" became unknown. "Anti-fascist protective wall" was the obligatory term. In 1990, its inventor explained: "We didn't want to bleed to death, we wanted to preserve the anti-fascist-democratic order that existed in the GDR. In this respect, I still consider my term to be correct today".
