What really took place behind the Iron Curtain – and why does it still affect us today?
Teaching – autumn semester of 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect our courses and programmes. Teaching and assessment during the first half of the autumn semester 2021 will be conducted both online and on campus. From 1 November more elements will be conducted on campus – the current schedule is available on course websites and/or in Canvas.
In this course, you will explore what happened to communism after World War II. You will follow its development from the Yalta Conference in 1945 to the collapse of the Soviet Union and into the 2000s. You will gain insight into how ideas emerged, changed, and left lasting marks – both politically and socially – in Eastern and Central Europe.
