  STATE SECRETS    

The former communist regimes of Eastern Europe kept close tabs on their citizens. Two decades after the Iron Curtain dissolved, the BBC's European Affairs correspondent confronts the legacy of Soviet rule - and her own past - as she hunts for recently declassified state secrets.  
FIRST HALF


Oana Lungescu, a Romanian-born BBC correspondent, delves into the archives of Romania’s former secret police and finds two volumes devoted to her, including 138 pages of transcripts of her personal phone calls from the early 1980’s.

SECOND HALF
Throughout 1989, one Communist regime after another collapsed in Eastern Europe. Romania was last. And there, the revolution was bloody. Two decades on, Oana Lungescu compares and contrasts how the Czech Republic and Romania handle the legacy of communist rule.
