Approaching the 30th anniversary of the beginning of the collapse of the “Iron Curtain”, the issue of the continued influence of Cold War political emigrants, their movements, activities, and fates is emerging as a lens used by social scientists of migration through which to view this period of transition, but also as a way to deconstruct the ways in which various regimes used the legacy of political activity during the Cold War to construct narratives which sought to legitimize a new iteration of the nation. Inspired by their work on a comprehensive handbook exploring the many facets of human movement during this period, "East Central Migrations during the Cold War" (DeGruyter Oldenbourg, 2019 - forthcoming), five of the volume’s authors wish to look forward to address current and future research regarding the activities and fates of political emigrants reflections during the past three decades. Topics to be addressed by the various authors, who will examine exile activities in Bulgaria, the German Democratic Republic, Poland, Romania, and Russia, include but are not limited to: factors leading to the decision to return or stay after the installation of new regimes, the continued activity of exiles who remained abroad, the political and cultural activities of individuals and groups remaining in exile, factors leading to the support or silencing of former exiles by post-Cold War regimes, and the cultural impact of Cold War exile on contemporary political identities.
