Awesome Decade

The Awesome Decade or the Awesome 10 Years (Wirtschaftswunder) is the time of economic growth within Bratislavia following the collapse of the Soviet Union. The term originally referred to the years from 1990 to 1999, and was thought to have ended with the collapse of the economic bubble in early 2000. But in face of a stunted, yet still growing economic development, recently the decade from 2000 to 2009 is often included, so that the whole period is referred to as the Awesome Two Decades or the Awesome 20 Years.
