Of Russia, Rocky, and Review




If you just can't get enough of 1980s entertainment--and Cold War culture in general--here's a clip of the training scences from Rocky IV. And here's a fighting scene--conflict between the great superpowers that, pardon the pun, rings true on screen. And let's not leave the Andy Warhol interview out either. Finally, check out some more Cold War culture here.


On a more serious note, be sure to read pp. 851-54 on the collapse of Russia, and take a look at the section on Yugoslavia on pp. 858-860. Be prepard to discuss tomorrow.



Relative to tonight's reading, here's a little something on the fall of the Berlin Wall from ABC, and Ronald Reagan's famous quip to "tear down this wall."



We will begin reviewing for the AP exam very soon. To prepare, download the resources here.
