This concluding chapter embeds tourism in the Cold War within the broader debates of Cold War history, contemporary European history, and the history of European integration. Within this scope, the chapter highlights how the volume cuts across the boundaries of these various scholarly fields to present a more complex and multi-layered picture of East–West interactions and the diverse rationales, be they political, economic, cultural, bureaucratic, that either promoted or hampered them. This chapter also connects the subject of tourism in the Cold War with the broader framework of inter-state relations and political agreements embodied in the Helsinki Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE), its Final Act, and ensuing process of follow-up conferences. The main argument of the chapter is that, despite the very existence of the Iron Curtain and serious impediments to the circulations of ideas, people, and goods across it, historiographical research in various fields connected with the Cold War is revealing the existence of webs of contacts, exchanges, and influences, as well as a diverse range of agencies involved in making all of this possible.

This chapter focuses on a visit by two women activists and travellers to the Soviet Union in the 1960s. The chapter analyses the left-leaning feminist Rosey E. Pool’s private letters in which she describes her travel experiences with her partner Ursel ‘Isa’ Isenburg behind the Iron Curtain. In a reading against the grain, the chapter uncovers the multiple layers of meaning in the seemingly partisan accounts of a fellow traveller. Pool’s contemporary notes provide the reader with a very subjective take on Khrushchev’s USSR that owed little to other travelogues of the time. The chapter interprets the letters as commentary on Western political issues, such as women’s liberation and racism in the American South.
这一章的重点是20世纪60年代两位女性活动家和旅行者对苏联的访问。这一章分析了左倾女权主义者罗西·e·普尔(Rosey E. Pool)的私人信件,她在信中描述了她和伴侣乌塞尔·伊萨·伊森伯格(Ursel“Isa”Isenburg)在铁幕后面的旅行经历。这一章的阅读违背了读者的意愿,它揭示了一位旅伴看似具有党派色彩的叙述的多重含义。普尔的当代笔记为读者提供了对赫鲁晓夫领导下的苏联的非常主观的看法,这与当时其他游记的影响不大。这一章将这些信件解释为对西方政治问题的评论,如妇女解放和美国南方的种族主义。
