The deer could care less....

Very interesting! But it's only one species, and as the article says, the most interesting legacy of the Iron Curtain is the almost unbroken stretch of virtual nature-reserves between the Baltic and the Adriatic.

I always thought the most interesting legacy was "Wind of Change".... God, I hated that song at the time, and you couldn't escape it at all!! I was 11 when all of this happened, but I was following politics and history at the time, and I remember watching so much of this coverage with my Grandfather. He passed away that winter, so that may be why I have such vivid memories of the Wall coming down, but I also remember thinking this is what it's like to live history. Fascinating time.
