The population's increasing awareness of ecological threats, the growing doubts about the protective role of the state, along with doubts about the authority of 'experts' were accompanied by a change in the communication of emotions. Fear and insecurity be-came potential ways of mobilising people to take action in civil society in the latter phase of the Cold War, a situation which is still valid today and which has led to a large number of contacts between Germany and Belarus.... view less
