A good quarter of a century after the end of the Cold War, this special issue looks into the possibility of historicising the events of 1989 in Central and Eastern Europe and their subsequent developments. There is a reason why these chapters deal with the way in which gender-historical perspectives are altering the current narrative of the "return to Europe": because continuities and breaks between pre-socialist, socialist and post-socialist times tend to present themselves differently in terms of gender relations to those seen in conventional narratives. The discussions pinpoint the way in which the experiences of the post-socialist era have changed our perspective with regards to state socialism and establish that we are not dealing with a linear development towards "universal" values, but rather that these values have always been, and continue to be, gender-coded.
