As Europe prepared for the anniversary of the Berlin Wall’s demolition in November 2014, Index on Censorship looked at how the continent had changed. Author Irena Maryniak explored the idea of a new divide that had formed further east. Polish journalist Konstanty Gebert looked at how Poland’s media came out from the underground and lost its voice. Award-winning German writer Regula Venske showed how Germany tackled its identity issues through crime fiction; and Helen Womack reported from Moscow on the fears of a new Cold War. We also gave voice to “Generation Wall” – the young people who had grown up in a free eastern Europe.
