In 1946, Winston Churchill coined a memorable phrase: 鈥淔rom Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic an iron curtain has descended across the continent,鈥� he said. Today the Soviet Union has gone, but populist parties are in government in every country along the route of the Iron Curtain, as defined by Churchill. In this series, political scientist Yascha Mounk travels that route, and finds out what is changing under these new governments in smaller cities, far away from the capitals. He speaks to supporters and opponents of the populist parties and builds up a complex picture of Europe in a time of flux.
