On this nine week course held in Rearsby, we will look at life in the six countries of Eastern Europe under Soviet control from the late 1940s until 1989. This is mostly a social history course, and only peripherally covers East-West tensions, often referred to as the Cold War. We’ll see how the Soviet Union and its proxies, the communist parties of the six countries, endeavoured to impose a new way of life on people, sometimes subtly through the media and propaganda and at other times using methods of coercive control. How it was to live there – the realities of being in a bureaucratic state with central planning and surveillance; why youth groups were considered so important; rebellions against the state; the Berlin Wall. If you are interested in history and culture, this course will be suitable for you.
