The Iron Curtain is mentioned in the notes found in the desk of a New York advertising executive as being home to the "crass atheists" that will be in attendance at the United Nations when the pope returns to New York City (Saint Fidgeta and Other Parodies; 29).
Inspiration[]
The Iron Curtain was the name for the boundary dividing Europe into two separate areas from the end of World War II in 1945 until the end of the Cold War in 1991. The term symbolizes the efforts by the Soviet Union to block itself and its satellite states from open contact with the West and non-Soviet-controlled areas[1].
