摘要:The exploration of the complicated cultural and social landscapes of post-ColdWar military bases in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), offered by this specialissue of Folklore: Electronic Journal of Folklore, has its starting point in BorneSulinowo in the north-western part of Poland. In the 1930s, this one-time Germanfishing and farming village became a military training area of the ThirdReich and later, during World War II, a transitory camp and then a prison campfor officers. Following the takeover by the Red Army in 1945, the whole areawas turned into a “closed city”: a secret military settlement that constituted onenode in the intricate web of military objects woven by the Soviet Union acrossthe CEE during the Cold War years. Borne Sulinowo, the Polish civilian town,has been in the making since the departure of the military forces of the RussianFederation from Poland in 1993 (Demski & Czarnecka 2015; Czarnecka 2015).
