Iron Curtain, 1946 From Stettin on the Baltic to Trieste on the Adriatic, an  iron curtain has descended across the continent. Behind that line lie all the capitals of the ancient states of central  and eastern Europe. Warsaw, Berlin, Prague, Vienna,  Budapest, Belgrade, Bucharest, and Sofia, all these  famous cities and the populations around them lie in the  Soviet sphere and all are subject, in one form or another,  not only to Soviet influence but to a very high and  increasing measure of control from Moscow....Police  governments are prevailing in nearly every case, and so  far, except in Czechoslovakia, there is no true democracy.  Winston S. Churchill (Prime Minister of Great Britain)
