The Soviets and US
In the second half of the 20th century, the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union structured life for many hundreds of millions of people — not only in those two nations but also in many others throughout the world. This exhibit explores the contours of that relationship and its legacies, from the immediate post-WWII era to perestroika and, more than three decades later, Russia's war in Ukraine.
