Changes in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe have been
rapid and far-reaching. Historical developments have led to
a new post-war configuration that few could predict as
possible. This paper was delivered at a time of such
exciting changes when the horizon was cluttered with a whole
range of possibilities. It discusses the ups and downs of
western reactions to what is happening in the Soviet Union
and Eastern Europe and weighs them against the more
fundamental and historical causes and effects.
