Kind-Kovács, Friederike (Author)
The article investigates the role of Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty as a crucial junction of cross-Iron Curtain communication throughout the Cold War. It explores how the radio stations turned into both real as well as imaginary targets of letters, underground literature, and private phone calls from the `Other Europe'. After outlining the radios' mission in the early 1950s, the article concentrates on the practical as well as the symbolic employability of exiles. This will help further the understanding of the central role of exiles in closing gaps between the radio stations' mission and their actual transmission. By reestablishing means of real cross-border communication, exiles turned into the key players of this `Cold War of the ether'.
