    4. Crisis in Berlin The problem: Those wishing to escape the oppressive communist government in East Germany went to West Berlin and from there went to West Germany. 20% of all Germans living in East Germany did this greatly weakening the economy of East Germany. Khrushchev had to stop Germans from leaving the East to save the Communist government there. Khrushchev threatened to blockade West Berlin like Stalin had done. Realizing that this could lead to war, what he did was build a Wall around West Berlin to keep East Germans from moving to West Germany.
