The Outsiders: The struggle for youth identity in post-communist Eastern Europe
March 2001
For downloads and more information visit http://www.journeyman.tv/?lid=14702
Under Soviet rule, young people in Central and Eastern Europe were drilled into the ideology of communism - indoctrinated with its sense of purpose, of structure, of belonging. The collapse of communist authoritarian rule has brought greater freedom of choice and opportunity for all. But it's also created a climate of growing uncertainty, especially for the 65 million young people in the region. As the gulf between the "have's" and the "have not's" has widened, the former safe and well-trodden road from childhood to adulthood has increasingly been swept away. Stripped of their sense of "belonging", many young people in Eastern Europe have become "outsiders", as this Life programme shows.

STORYLINE:
United States President George W. Bush welcomed seven former Soviet-dominated nations into the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) as full and equal partners on Monday and said the Western alliance was stronger because of their presence.
Under a bright sun on the White House South Lawn, Bush stood with the prime ministers of Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia
and Slovenia.
Hundreds of people cheered during the induction of the new members. Some waved flags of the new member nations, whose addition expands the alliance to 26 countries.
A military guard of honour carried the flags of the NATO countries.
Fifty-five years after NATO''s birth, Bush recalled that the seven new members were captives to an empire when the alliance was formed. At the time the Soviet Union and most Eastern European nations formed the Warsaw Pact, NATO''s communist equivalent.
President Bush told the audience that the door to NATO will remain open until the whole of Europe is united in freedom and in peace.
He added that seven new member countries, all of whom were involved in the Second World War, were witnesses to the great crimes of the 20th century and therefore brought moral clarity to the purposes of NATO.
Bush said they understood the cause in Afghanistan and in Iraq, "because tyranny for them is still a fresh memory."
The new members will take part in their first meeting Friday in Brussels, Belgium.
Three other countries in Europe - Albania, Croatia and Macedonia - still hope to join NATO in the near future.

Soviet bloc should be viewed as a project of globalization characterized by intellectual and technical exchanges and implicit competition with the west. Mëhilli, a doctoral candidate in European and Eurasian history at Princeton University, focused on Albania, calling the small country in Southeast Europe an important laboratory for the "socialist experiment" and a useful case study to understand the nature of socialist exchange.

The term Eastern Bloc or Communist Bloc refers to the former communist states of Eastern and Central Europe, generally the Soviet Union and the countries of the Warsaw Pact. The terms Communist Bloc and Soviet Bloc were also used to denote groupings of states aligned with the Soviet Union, although these terms might include states outside Central and Eastern Europe.
In 1922, the RSFSR, the Ukrainian SSR, the Byelorussian SSR and the Transcaucasian SFSR, approved the Treaty of Creation of the USSR and the Declaration of the Creation of the USSR, forming the Soviet Union. Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, who viewed the Soviet Union as a "socialist island", stated that the Soviet Union must see that "the present capitalist encirclement is replaced by a socialist encirclement."
In 1939, the USSR entered into the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact with Nazi Germany that contained a secret protocol that divided Romania, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Finland into German and Soviet spheres of influence. Eastern Poland, Latvia, Estonia, Finland and Bessarabia in northern Romania were recognized as parts of the Soviet sphere of influence. Lithuania was added in a second secret protocol in September 1939.

The Outsiders: The struggle for youth identity in post-communist Eastern Europe March 2001 For downloads and more information visit http://www.journeyman.tv/?lid=14702 Under Soviet rule, young people in Central and Eastern Europe were drilled into the ideology of communism - indoctrinated with its sense of purpose, of structure, of belonging.

The Soviet Bloc as a Project of Globalization
Soviet bloc should be viewed as a project of globalization characterized by intellectual and technical exchanges and implicit competition with the west. Mëhilli, a doctoral candidate in European and Eurasian history at Princeton University, focused on Albania, calling the small country in Southeast Europe an important laboratory for the "socialist experiment" and a useful case study to understand the nature of socialist exchange.

BERLIN WALL (PART 5) 1990 EASTERN BLOC POLITICAL CHANGES OCCURRED.
In 1989, a radical series of Eastern Bloc political changes occurred, associated with the liberalization of the Eastern Bloc's authoritarian systems and the erosion of political power in the pro-Soviet governments in nearby Poland and Hungary. After several weeks of civil unrest, the East German government announced on 9 November 1989 that all GDR citizens could visit West Germany and West Berlin. Crowds of East Germans crossed and climbed onto the wall, joined by West Germans on the other side in a celebratory atmosphere. Over the next few weeks, a euphoric public and souvenir hunters chipped away parts of the wall; the governments later used industrial equipment to remove most of the rest. The fall of the Berlin Wall paved the way for German reunification, which was formally concluded on... -
USA: THREE US CITIZENS CHARGED WITH SPYING FOR SOVIET BLOC STATES
English/Nat Three United States citizens, including a former Pentagon analyst and her husband, were charged on Monday with spying for East Germany and Russia. The three appeared in court accused by federal prosecutors of running an espionage operation that began in 1972.

At the United States Attorney's office in Arlington, Virginia, on Monday - the trial of three U-S citizens at the centre of an undercover espionage ring.

USA: SENATE DEBATE ON FORMER SOVIET BLOC COUNTRIES JOINING NATO
English/Nat A heated debate began in the U-S Senate on Tuesday on whether to admit Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic to the NATO alliance. Opponents of the move are worried that expanding NATO to include the three former Soviet bloc countries might offend Russia and put paid to further arms reductions. Some senators are also concerned about the cost of the eastwards enlargement - which some experts say could reach as much as 125 (b) billion dollars. But there is still considerable support in the Senate in favour of the NATO resolution. NATO gave approval for Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary to join the alliance last December. However, before that agreement can be formally implemented, the parliaments of the 16 NATO member states must formally ratify the accor...

STORYLINE:
United States President George W. Bush welcomed seven former Soviet-dominated nations into the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) as full and equal partners on Monday and said the Western alliance was stronger because of their presence.
Under a bright sun on the White House South Lawn, Bush stood with the prime ministers of Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia
and Slovenia.
Hundreds of people cheered during the induction of the new members. Some waved flags of the new member nations, whose addition expands the alliance to 26 countries.
A military guard of honour carried the flags of the NATO countries.
Fifty-five years after NATO''s birth, Bush recalled that the seven new members were captives to an empire when the alliance was formed. At the time the Soviet Union and most Eastern European nations formed the Warsaw Pact, NATO''s communist equivalent.
President Bush told the audience that the door to NATO will remain open until the whole of Europe is united in freedom and in peace.
He added that seven new member countries, all of whom were involved in the Second World War, were witnesses to the great crimes of the 20th century and therefore brought moral clarity to the purposes of NATO.
Bush said they understood the cause in Afghanistan and in Iraq, "because tyranny for them is still a fresh memory."
The new members will take part in their first meeting Friday in Brussels, Belgium.
Three other countries in Europe - Albania, Croatia and Macedonia - still hope to join NATO in the near future.

Soviet bloc should be viewed as a project of globalization characterized by intellectual and technical exchanges and implicit competition with the west. Mëhilli, a doctoral candidate in European and Eurasian history at Princeton University, focused on Albania, calling the small country in Southeast Europe an important laboratory for the "socialist experiment" and a useful case study to understand the nature of socialist exchange.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned former Soviet bloc countries that the Islamist insurgency in countries like Syria and Afghanistan could spill over into the wider region and he is urging them to strengthen their borders.
Kim Ji-yeon reports. Russian President Vladimir Putin told former Soviet allies that the violence in Syria and Afghanistan could have a direct effect on their interests.
At a meeting of the Collective Security Treaty Organization in the port city of Sochi on Monday, Putin said that the "problem of terrorism spilling from one country to another is absolutely real" and could have a direct effect on their countries, citing the deadly attack in Nairobi as an example.
Tajikistan a CSTO member state, shares a border with Afghanistan,... and most members of the regional bloc have large Muslim populations.
In response, the CSTO members agreed to come up with a plan to strengthen border security ahead of the planned pullout of foreign troops from Afghanistan scheduled in 2014.
Leaders of the CSTO nations also issued a joint statement for the peaceful resolution of the crisis in Syria, saying that foreign military intervention in Syria was "unacceptable" without the approval of the UN Security Council.

In 1989, a radical series of Eastern Bloc political changes occurred, associated with the liberalization of the Eastern Bloc's authoritarian systems and the erosion of political power in the pro-Soviet governments in nearby Poland and Hungary. After several weeks of civil unrest, the East German government announced on 9 November 1989 that all GDR citizens could visit West Germany and West Berlin. Crowds of East Germans crossed and climbed onto the wall, joined by West Germans on the other side in a celebratory atmosphere. Over the next few weeks, a euphoric public and souvenir hunters chipped away parts of the wall; the governments later used industrial equipment to remove most of the rest. The fall of the Berlin Wall paved the way for German reunification, which was formally concluded on 3 October 1990.

English/Nat
Three United States citizens, including a former Pentagon analyst and her husband, were charged on Monday with spying for East Germany and Russia.
The three appeared in court accused by federal prosecutors of running an espionage operation that began in 1972.
They were arrested on Saturday after an F-B-I sting operation in which they allegedly turned over documents to undercover agents posing as spies for South Africa.
At the United States Attorney's office in Arlington, Virginia, on Monday - the trial of three U-S citizens at the centre of an undercover espionage ring.
The husband and wife team were code-named "Ken" and "Tina" by their East German handlers in Berlin.
It's alleged they used miniature cameras to photograph secret documents and shortwave radios to receive coded messages from their spy masters.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"When the Berlin Wall came down in October 1990 Kurt Stand, Theresa Squillacote and Jim Clark did not surrender or lay down the tools of the espionage trade. They looked to other countries to sell their allegiance to. They wanted to sell their expertise in document photography, radio messages, and the smuggling of information outside of the United States. First they tried to sell it to Russia then to South Africa. But finally they were successful in selling their secrets to an undercover agent of the F-B-I"
SUPER CAPTION: Tom Pickard, Assistant Director F-B-I, Washington Field Office
Theresa Marie Squillacote, 39, the former Defense Department analyst; her husband, Kurt Alan Stand, 42, a labor union representative, and a third defendant, James Clark, 49, a private detective, were charged with conspiracy to commit espionage.
Prosecutors say they have evidence that Clark attempted to sell classified information about lethal chemical weapons to the East Germans.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"He had access to chemical weapons information including information about poisoned gas. The affidavit also indicates that he discussed with his German handlers the information that he had access to concerning chemical weapons but that they were not interested"
SUPER CAPTION: Randy Bellows, Assistant U-S Attorney
The three were arrested on Saturday after an F-B-I sting operation in which they allegedly turned over documents to undercover agents posing as spies for South Africa.
They were described in court papers as Communist Party sympathizers who met at the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee during their student days in the 1970s.
A 200-page affidavit filed in federal court makes clear that the alleged espionage ring extended beyond the three defendants.
After the unification of Germany in 1990, the three worked with their East German handlers "to create an espionage relationship" with the Soviet Union and later with Russia, the documents said.
All three were charged with conspiracy to commit espionage on behalf of East Germany, the Soviet Union, Russia and South Africa.
If convicted, they face a maximum sentence of life in prison and a 250-thousand U-S dollars fine. If certain statutory criteria are met, they could face the death penalty.

English/Nat
A heated debate began in the U-S Senate on Tuesday on whether to admit Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic to the NATO alliance.
Opponents of the move are worried that expanding NATO to include the three former Soviet bloc countries might offend Russia and put paid to further arms reductions.
Some senators are also concerned about the cost of the eastwards enlargement - which some experts say could reach as much as 125 (b) billion dollars.
But there is still considerable support in the Senate in favour of the NATO resolution.
NATO gave approval for Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary to join the alliance last December.
However, before that agreement can be formally implemented, the parliaments of the 16 NATO member states must formally ratify the accord.
The proposal has already been passed by the Danish and Canadian parliaments.
On Tuesday, the same process began in the United States.
There is considerable support for the NATO resolution in the U-S Senate, and probably enough to approve the bill.
The Republican Senator Jesse Helms was among those who firmly backed Tuesday's motion.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"In 1949 when the alliance was founded, the decision entailed some risk and the same is true today. That I acknowledge. But those of us who have supported an expanded NATO are convinced that the collective defence of democratic nations in Europe and North America, serves the interests of this nation, the United States of America."
SUPER CAPTION: Senator Jesse Helms, Republican - North Carolina
Helms added that joining NATO would help bolster the fledgling democracies in the three former Soviet bloc countries.
But a two-thirds Senate majority is required to make the bill law, and its opponents say there is no need to expand NATO at the present time.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"What is the threat to Hungary, the Czech Republic and Poland today from Russia? I haven't heard anyone tell me what it is. If Russia decides to build back up, and that very well may happen, if they decide to turn to communism again or some other brute force type government, if that even begins to happen, we can take the necessary steps, including the expansion of NATO to do that. But why do it before we have to?"
SUPER CAPTION: Senator Bob Smith, Republican - New Hampshire
Smith was one Senator worried that allowing Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary to join NATO might offend Russia and jeopardise further arms reductions.
Other countries in Central and Eastern Europe, such as Romania, Slovenia, Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania, have shown an interest in joining the alliance.
This has set alarm bells ringing about what the ultimate cost of NATO expansion will be, with estimates of anything up to 125 (b) billion dollars.
President Clinton has estimated that the United States alone will have to come up with 400 million U-S dollars in the next decade to accommodate new members of NATO.

The vote was a crucial foreign policy victory for President Bill Clinton, who has made NATO expansion a top priority of his second term. The Senate voted 80 to 19 on Thursday to approve adding Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic to NATO. The move also leaves the door open for other former Soviet satellites to join later.

Transatlantic Relations in the 21st Century: Europe, America and the Rise of the — Download
Download Here: http://tinyurl.com/q26f3jn This book offers an overview of the interface between European integration, transatlantic relations, and the 'rise of the rest' in the early 21st century. The collapse of the Soviet bloc opened up an era in which the drivers and perceived benefits of the US alliance among European countries have become more variegated and shifting. The proposition that the US remains at once an 'indispensable' and 'intolerable' nation in Europe is a key concept in the alliance, as the US remains inextricably tied to the continent through economic, military and cultural links. This work examines this complex subject area from many angles, including an analysis of the historical and cultural contexts of America’s relations with Europe, as well as a discu... -

The tour takes you from beautiful medieval castles and coastal cliffs to ash-hills, half empty industrial ghost towns and the most bizarre Soviet themed museum in Estonia. It doesn’t matter if Soviet history is something you’re familiar with. It’s fun either way: nostalgic block houses with indistinguishable looks or a 101 to the absurdist tragicomedy known as "Reminiscences of the Soviet Union".

The Union State is becoming "the driver of the development" in the former Soviet republics' integration processes, Russian President Vladimir Putin said during a meeting in Minsk with his Belarusian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko, Thursday.
SOT, Alexander Lukashenko, President of Belarus (Russian): "I have just told the president that we agreed to prepare well for the Supreme State Council and during those preparations we made all the arrangements. Myself and Vladimir Vladimirovich [Putin] discussed this issue three times by phone and then we met twice, with the last meeting being in Sochi. The [Russian and Belarusian] prime ministers were in contact, and I mentioned this as well. We carefully prepared all the issues, studied them, so today's meeting of Supreme State Council is the culmination. We will have a swift meeting because all the issues have been well worked on."
SOT, Vladimir Putin, President of Russia (Russian): "We are very happy to be in Belarus. For sure, our teams worked well. We know the world we live in now, the situation in the international economy and in our economies respectively. There are many issues which claim special attention at the highest level. I would like to note that everything that started 20 years ago, and I mean from the start of the creation of the Union State, nothing has been lost. On the contrary, this integrative project is developing successfully, and to some extent, it is becoming the driver of the development of the integration processes in the former Soviet republics."

These abandoned factories, homes and halls hide stories from the past which photographer Christian Richter is keen to share
Diminished by time and abandoned by people, these images show the haunting reality of the former Soviet Bloc.
Captured by photographer Christian Richter, they show the time before the fall of the Communist state of East Germany when the Berlin Wall came down in 1989 .
Then aged 14, the snapper witnessed huge changes in his home country.
It was then that the buildings were abandoned, and Christian began to visit them.
Thanks to a digital camera in later years, he recorded what he saw on his travels.
Silent stairway: Christian has an interest in abandoned buildings like this former factory
They are very peaceful places because no-one ever goes there," he told BBC Magazine.
"The way they deteriorate, when nature starts to take over, reminds me that everything is transient.
"There's a feeling that it is the end of time and you don't find that kind of atmosphere anywhere else."
Over the past few years, Christian estimates he has visited 1,000 buildings in Germany, France, Belgium, Italy and Poland.
He shares the atmospheric images on his Instagram page and on Facebook, where he is followed by more than 265,700 people .
He says that it's not a foregone conclusion that the buildings he visits will make arresting images just because they're abandoned, and reveals that it can be difficult to get inside, having to crawl through tunnels or climb in windows.
He says he's investigated doctors surgeries, crematoria, five-star hotels, public baths and factories.
But he always keeps the locations secret, so people can't get in and "tear down the banisters or spray graffiti tags on the walls".
He adds: "When I see an old building in this state I can imagine its former glory, but it's always sad that it's falling apart and not being used."

English/Nat
The U-S Senate voted overwhelmingly on Thursday to admit Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic to the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO).
The vote was a crucial foreign policy victory for President Bill Clinton, who has made NATO expansion a top priority of his second term.
The Senate voted 80 to 19 on Thursday to approve adding Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic to NATO.
The move also leaves the door open for other former Soviet satellites to join later.
The final tally was 12 votes more than the two-thirds majority needed for treaty modifications.
All 16 present NATO members must ratify the agreement, as must the three incoming members.
Senator Joseph Biden of Delaware, the senior Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said it was high time that Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic were admitted to NATO.
He said the new move heralds a new chapter of continued peace in Europe.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"For this is in fact the beginning of another five decades of peace well into the next century because of the extension of this security arrangement throughout Europe. I yield the floor."
SUPERCAPTION: Senator Joseph Biden, Democrat from Delaware
But opponents cited potential hidden costs and said a bigger NATO would further isolate Russia and could lead to dangerous and unwanted military entanglements, perhaps with nuclear implications.
Republican Senator John Warner from Virginia said that the new additions would create new challenges that may prove hard to overcome.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"I think it's going to pose a mighty challenge to make it work but if that's the decision of this body for which I have infinite respect, then I commit as a member of the armed services committee where I will have some special responsibilities to make it work. But I also say that I shall be among others who'll maintain a vigil as to the future with an open and objective mind predicated in my own thoughts of what I have expressed on this floor about future additions of other nations in a manner that would be untimely to make this treaty last another fifty years. I yield the floor."
SUPERCAPTION: Senator John Warner, Republican from Virginia
However, the enlargement plan drew wide support across the political spectrum, including the Senate leadership in both parties.
Clinton and congressional supporters called the proposed expansion - the first since Spain joined NATO in 1982 - a natural next step in redrawing the political map of Europe after the end of the Cold War.

Hundreds of military personnel from NATO and ex-Soviet bloc nations are in Armenia for a NATO-organised training exercise.
US Lieutenant General John Gardner says the drill is focusing a theoretical humanitarian crisis and is designed to help NATO members better work with non-alliance countries.
He said the exercise is "centred around a UN-mandated crisis response operation".
The three-week drill involving 17 countries comes weeks after neighbouring Georgia fought a brief war with Russia over the status of two Georgian breakaway regions.
The war rattled the entire South Caucasus region, which straddles East-West trading corridors.
Neither Russia nor Georgia sent representatives to the drill, which began on Monday.
Nor did Turkey or Azerbaijan, against whom Armenia fought a war in the 1990s over Nagorno-Karabakh.

This book offers an overview of the interface between European integration, transatlantic relations, and the 'rise of the rest' in the early 21st century. The collapse of the Soviet bloc opened up an era in which the drivers and perceived benefits of the US alliance among European countries have become more variegated and shifting. The proposition that the US remains at once an 'indispensable' and 'intolerable' nation in Europe is a key concept in the alliance, as the US remains inextricably tied to the continent through economic, military and cultural links. This work examines this complex subject area from many angles, including an analysis of the historical and cultural contexts of America’s relations with Europe, as well as a discussion of the politics of transatlantic affairs which utilises evidence gleaned from a series of case-studies. In the concluding chapters, the author assesses the likelihood that the West can entrench its global dominance in the realms of "soft" and "hard" power, and by effecting a "controlled reform" that will see multilateral structures open up to emerging powers. This book will be of great interest to students of European Politics, EU integration, transatlantic relations, US foreign policy/diplomacy, International Security and IR in general.

This work examines this complex subject area from many angles, including an analysis of the historical and cultural contexts of America’s relations with Europe, as well as a discussion of the politics of transatlantic affairs which utilises evidence gleaned from a series of case-studies. In the concluding chapters, the author assesses the likelihood that the West can entrench its global dominance in the realms of "soft" and "hard" power, and by effecting a "controlled reform" that will see multilateral structures open up to emerging powers. This book will be of great interest to students of European Politics, EU integration, transatlantic relations, US foreign policy/diplomacy, International Security and IR in general.

A day in Tallinn cannot be compared to a day in Narva. To be honest, nothing can be compared to the Eastern side of Estonia.
A day hunting hammers and sickles is time well spent. The tour takes you from beautiful medieval castles and coastal cliffs to ash-hills, half empty industrial ghost towns and the most bizarre Soviet themed museum in Estonia.
It doesn’t matter if Soviet history is something you’re familiar with. It’s fun either way: nostalgic block houses with indistinguishable looks or a 101 to the absurdist tragicomedy known as "Reminiscences of the Soviet Union". The Eastern side of Estonia is for adventurers.
And yes, there will be a tank and a statue of Lenin!

How the Cold War Ended and How Fear Controls Us: Jeremy Scahill and Tom Engelhardt (2012)
The Cold War period of 1985--1991 began with the rise of Mikhail Gorbachev as leader of the Soviet Union. Gorbachev was a revolutionary leader for the USSR, as he was the first to promote liberalization of the political landscape (Glasnost) and capitalist elements into the economy (Perestroika); prior to this, the USSR had been strictly prohibiting liberal reform and maintained an inefficient centralized economy. The USSR, facing massive economic difficulties, was also greatly interested in reducing the costly arms race with the U.S. President Ronald Reagan, although peaceful confrontation and arms buildups throughout much of his term prevented the USSR from cutting back its military spending as much as it might have liked. Regardless, the USSR began to crumble as liberal reforms proved di... -

The Cold War period of 1985--1991 began with the rise of Mikhail Gorbachev as leader of the Soviet Union. Gorbachev was a revolutionary leader for the USSR, as he was the first to promote liberalization of the political landscape (Glasnost) and capitalist elements into the economy (Perestroika); prior to this, the USSR had been strictly prohibiting liberal reform and maintained an inefficient centralized economy. The USSR, facing massive economic difficulties, was also greatly interested in reducing the costly arms race with the U.S. President Ronald Reagan, although peaceful confrontation and arms buildups throughout much of his term prevented the USSR from cutting back its military spending as much as it might have liked. Regardless, the USSR began to crumble as liberal reforms proved difficult to handle and capitalist changes to the centralized economy were badly transitioned and caused major problems. After a series of revolutions in Soviet Bloc states, the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991.
Russia and the other Soviet successor states have faced a chaotic and harsh transition from a command economy to free market capitalism following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. A large percentage of the population currently lives in poverty. GDP growth also declined, and life expectancy dropped sharply. Living conditions have also declined in other parts of the former 'Eastern bloc'.
In addition, the poverty and desperation of the Russians, Ukrainians and allies of post--Cold War have led to the sale of many advanced Cold War-developed weapons systems, especially very capable modern upgraded versions, around the globe. World-class tanks (T-80/T-84), jet fighters (MiG-29 and Su-27/30/33), surface-to-air missile systems (S-300P, S-300V, 9K332 and Igla) and others have been placed on the market in order to obtain some much-needed cash. This poses a possible problem for western powers in coming decades as they increasingly find hostile countries equipped with weapons which were designed by the Soviets to defeat them. The post--Cold War era saw a period of unprecedented prosperity in the West, especially in the United States, and a wave of democratization throughout Latin America, Africa, and Central, South-East and Eastern Europe.
Sociologist Immanuel Wallerstein expresses a less triumphalist view, arguing that the end of the Cold War is a prelude to the breakdown of Pax Americana. In his essay "Pax Americana is Over," Wallerstein argues, "The collapse of communism in effect signified the collapse of liberalism, removing the only ideological justification behind US hegemony, a justification tacitly supported by liberalism's ostensible ideological opponent."[5]
The space exploration has petered out in both the United States and Russia without the competitive pressure of the space race. Military decorations have become more common, as they were created, and bestowed, by the major powers during the near 50 years of undeclared hostilities.

In addition, the poverty and desperation of the Russians, Ukrainians and allies of post--Cold War have led to the sale of many advanced Cold War-developed weapons systems, especially very capable modern upgraded versions, around the globe. World-class tanks (T-80/T-84), jet fighters (MiG-29 and Su-27/30/33), surface-to-air missile systems (S-300P, S-300V, 9K332 and Igla) and others have been placed on the market in order to obtain some much-needed cash. This poses a possible problem for western powers in coming decades as they increasingly find hostile countries equipped with weapons which were designed by the Soviets to defeat them. The post--Cold War era saw a period of unprecedented prosperity in the West, especially in the United States, and a wave of democratization throughout Latin America, Africa, and Central, South-East and Eastern Europe.
Sociologist Immanuel Wallerstein expresses a less triumphalist view, arguing that the end of the Cold War is a prelude to the breakdown of Pax Americana. In his essay "Pax Americana is Over," Wallerstein argues, "The collapse of communism in effect signified the collapse of liberalism, removing the only ideological justification behind US hegemony, a justification tacitly supported by liberalism's ostensible ideological opponent."[5]
The space exploration has petered out in both the United States and Russia without the competitive pressure of the space race. Military decorations have become more common, as they were created, and bestowed, by the major powers during the near 50 years of undeclared hostilities.
