Abstract

Socialist camp, a Polish frontier guard watched me through binoculars from a rough wooden tower, like a hunting box, on the shore. Somewhat to my surprise, I realized that the frontiers between the bloc members impeded not only travel, but also the passage of ideas and information, so that knowledge of what was happening in another Communist country was limited, even among intellectuals, to random and scattered information, gleaned from those foreigners and natives (mainly specialists) who had visited one or other of the neighbouring countries.
