| | Bloc Politics |
 | | By 1960, however, decolonization led to many newly created states which, in turn, led to a period of so called "Third-World" dominance, which lasted until the early 80s. | | | Blocs are often thought of as "voting blocs", but this is a misnomer. | | | These bloc members should probably be the first countries which delegates turn to for international support. |

| | Should, for instance, the creation of private spaces, such as the Russian dacha and the Czech chata, be understood as acts of appropriation in which lives were fashioned against the collective or, alternatively, as 'gifts' given by the State in return for quiescence? | | | Whilst monuments and public spaces were designed to relay official ideology, one of the most notable features of the events that marked the end of the Bloc was the way that they became sites of dissent. | | | The essays ñ written from different disciplinary perspectives ñ investigate the extent to which actual spaces conformed to the dominant political order in the region. |

| | Eastern Europe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Baltic countries Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are also commonly considered part of Eastern Europe. | | | The same approach is also sometimes taken with the post-Soviet states of Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan in the Caucasus. | | | On the other hand, the approbative term "New Europe" has been coined by neoconservative Americans to describe those former Eastern-Bloc countries which disavow Western Europe's antipathy towards the United States. |

| | Eastern bloc - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Although it was a Communist state, its leader, Marshal Tito, came to power through his efforts as a partisan resistance leader during World War II, and thus he was not installed by the Soviet Red Army, and he owed the Soviet leadership no allegiance. | | | Hungary was invaded by the Red Army in 1956 after it had overthrown its pro-Soviet government and replaced it with one that sought a more democratic communist path independent of Moscow; Czechoslovakia was similarly invaded in 1968 after a period of liberalization known as the Prague Spring. | | | The abrogation of the Brezhnev Doctrine in favor of the so-called "Sinatra Doctrine" had dramatic effects across Eastern Europe. |

| | A yearning for religious freedom, a right taken for granted in the West, has been at the heart of the cry for freedom in these nations for many years. | | | Christian dissidents have been the most outspoken opponents of communism in Eastern Europe and some are now being exalted as leaders in newly liberated nations. | | | In every nation, Christians have performed acts of heroism and, in some instances, have directly brought the downfall of communist governments. |

| | Central europe certainly has lost a great many medieval castles, many during the first world war and many more during the second, as a result of military action (Castle were turned into defensive sites and were destroyed as a result). | | | In some privately held castles and stately homes in England private owners have allowed them to fall into ruin, or demolished the buildings outright and developments have dystroyed other buildings. | | | However, when I read about leaky roofs and warped floor boards I compare this to the state of castles in the british isles where roofs and floors are completely missing, I begin to suspect the impartiality of the author of this page. |
