RELATED EVENTS

Conference On the Downfall of Communism. 1989 in Central and Eastern Europe, 4-5 April 2019, Warsaw

 

The year 1989 saw a culmination of many years of dissident efforts which meant freedom and democracy for East-Central Europe. The rise of a number of sovereign countries brought joy and high hopes for their citizens, but also doubts and anxiety as to what the future might hold.

 

Thirty years later, experts from different countries, including Professor James Mark, are meeting in Warsaw to discuss these turbulent events, their interpretations today and the legacy of the fall of the Iron Curtain for the next generations. The conference is organised on the anniversary of the conclusion of the Polish Round Table Talks which were the first in a series of negotiations between communist authorities and the opposition in several countries of the Eastern Bloc.
