Some of the Yaroslavl residents involved in the relationship with Burlington still look back wistfully at the heady circumstances of Mr. Sanders's visit in 1988 — a time when the Iron Curtain was starting to crumble, the Soviet Union seemed poised for democratic change, and interactions with Americans felt new and fascinating.

There is something fascinating about seeing two European heavyweights, both hailing from countries shielded behind the infamous Iron Curtain in play until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, fighting each other under any ruleset—whether it's in an MMA contest, boxing bout or on the streets with their notorious football hooligans.

Largely forgotten today, the "Marigold Affair," involving diplomats on both sides of the Iron Curtain, stands out as much for its cloak-and-dagger Cold War intrigue as it does for its significance — for in it lies an object lesson in why a negotiated peace was so hard to achieve in Vietnam.

Wanderlust Back when Georgia — a country bordered by the Black Sea and the Caucasus Mountains — was behind the Iron Curtain, it was fancied the California of the U.S.S.R.

It was an inferiority complex thing—when most of your family carried with them pained stories about living behind the Iron Curtain, longing for the kind of consumer goods and 'progressive' culture the West had to offer, then when you arrive in that very same West, it's kinda easy to let your Polish pride be overpowered by everything around you, letting British culture somewhat define you.

After a season and a half of bad dick jokes, brutal murder, and excessive monologuing with very little in the way of meaningful character development (like we saw last week for Ezekiel, in "Some Guy"), The Walking Dead finally delivered a glimpse behind Negan's Iron Curtain this week … and how much you liked it probably depends on how much you've enjoyed the show's interpretation of the character to date.
