The history of the twentieth century can be encapsulated in a few key dates: 1914, and the beginning of the Great War; 1945, with the end of World War II and the start of the Cold War; and 1989, with the fall of communism as symbolised by the fall of the Berlin Wall. Twenty years after the collapse of the Iron Curtain, CIS held a commemorative event to mark this momentous period in world history. After the Wall. Reflections on the Legacy of 1989 now in print.
