ABSTRACT
The end of the Cold War has left an extensive global legacy of abandoned military installations, ranging from small monitoring posts to vast militarised landscapes. For most of their history, these were top-secret facilities and in many instances their passing has been unacknowledged. The Cold War was a universal global phenomenon; its physical remains in each country may be seen as a reflection of a unique national experience of the political and military stand-off between the Superpowers.
