Summary
On 5 March 1946, Winston Churchill delivered his famous ‘Iron Curtain’ speech at a college in Fulton, Missouri. He was addressing the perceived threat of what would go on to become the ‘Eastern Bloc’ of countries, referring to the political domination of the USSR. He could, however, very well have been referring to an artistic iron curtain that fell over Eastern Europe, one that had already enveloped the USSR for over a decade.
