Return of History
The Wall is probably the best-known symbol of the Cold War. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy quoted in his speech on March 17, 2022 in the German Bundestag, the American President Reagan ("Mr. Gorbatshov, tear down this wall."), and at the same time referred to the resurgent East-West conflict. While the Times published the “Return of History”. So, the Berlin Wall is back in our minds, not physically, but as a feeling, as an attitude.
