DiscoverIt is 100 years since Russia emerged from civil war as the newly formed Soviet Union. The ‘Iron Curtain’ that later descended across Europe symbolised the divide between Western democracies and the eastern Soviet regimes. Timothy Phillips (The Curtain and the Wall) travelled the length of the Iron Curtain to find out how the legacy of the divide – physical, political and emotional – continues to be felt. In conversation with historian Sheila Fitzpatrick (The Shortest History of the Soviet Union) and Dutch novelist Pieter Waterdrinker (The Long Song of Tchaikovsky Street), they reflect on what happened when the communist experiment came to an end. Chaired by The Sunday Times Europe Editor Peter Conradi.
