Twenty-five years ago the Warsaw Pact began dissolving as the member states’ governments lost the support of the weakening USSR and their citizens fomented revolutions. This panel will explore the history of media in Eastern Bloc countries during the years of the Warsaw Pact (1955-91) and media development in those countries in the years since its dissolution.
