From the Russian Revolution of 1917 to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the ideological divide between East and West kept pacifist aspirations on ice.

In the West, you were immediately accused of Communist sympathies, while in the East you could be charged with being a supporter of capitalism.
