Welcome to the Cold War history WikiProject. This project covers all articles about people, places, things, and events associated with the Cold War. We acknowledge that several of these articles, particularly relating to nations and individuals, also fall within the scope of other extant projects, and will not attempt to assert any sort of control over them. We will however seek to add appropriate content to related articles, and work to improve them in a neutral, NPOV way.

[edit] Article improvement requests

Culture during the Cold War - this is something I've mainly done, but I'd like someone else to work on it, maybe a group of people? In any case, it's somewhere between a list and a discussion of the subject. It needs more references, more information as some of the categories are not well populated with information.
