We now have access to: Cold War Eastern Europe, Module II: 1961-1966

Module II covers the years 1961 to 1966, and consists of over 3,300 files sourced entirely from The National Archives series FO 371. Every file from this series relevant to the former socialist states of Eastern Europe dated between 1961 and 1966 has been included.

The first half of the 1960s witnessed a series of international crises and realignments as Cold War tensions heightened, including the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Sino-Soviet split, and the construction of the Berlin Wall, which solidified the divide between East and West. Module II provides insight into all of these major international events and more, in addition to in-depth coverage of life behind the Iron Curtain in a period of economic reform, space travel, and the rise to power of Brezhnev and Ceauşescu.
