After the Wall: Traces of the Soviet Empire

With the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Soviet Empire also began to crumble. At its heart had been a military system that exerted huge control and influence. Eric Lusito was fascinated by the remains the military left behind. He found extraordinary sites: military bases that were simply abandoned—from East Germany to Mongolia and from Poland to Kazakhstan. He also discovered a rich collection of objects and ephemera, including gas masks, propaganda posters, books, magazines, instruction manuals, and personal photographs.

After the Wall’s publication coincides with the twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
