Behind me stands a memorial to the Iron Curtain, the physical and ideological divide that defined much of Europe during the Cold War.
For decades, the term "Iron Curtain" symbolized a continent separated by competing political systems, restricted movement, and deep geopolitical tension. Today, memorials like this one serve as a reminder of a period that shaped generations of Europeans and influenced world events far beyond the continent itself.
Looking back on this photo, it's difficult to imagine how different Oct 1956 is from Oct 2026, marking 70 years since the Hungarian Revolution, when the streets of Budapest became the epicentre of an uprising against Soviet control. What was once ground zero for one of the defining struggles of the Cold War is now a place of remembrance, reflection, and resilience.
