What did you think of the reciprocal relations of the two blocs' governments during the Cold War? Did you think, at the time, that it was unreasonably restrictive on basic human rights? Or did you accept it as a fact of life? I'd like to know what your experience of it was. My own experience is that planes flying over the USSR expected to be shot down, so even transit across airspace wasn't allowed, let alone actual travel to and from these countries. I didn't think it was unreasonable then. The USSR could do whatever it liked with its borders.
