Summary/Abstract: In the Shadow of Yalta. Art and Avant-Garde in Eastern Europe 1945-1989 is the long-awaited English translation of Piotr Piotrowski’s 2004 book Awangarda w cieniu Jalty published in Poznań, Poland. The title is unusually brilliant, because not only is it clear about what the book discusses, it also entails the particular definition of the Eastern Europe that the author chose to cover: the area falling under Soviet rule following the agreement of the victors of World War II.
