‘Cold War’
VOA’s unbiased, fact-based reporting is widely credited with helping to end the Cold War. Experts note the large amounts of goodwill that VOA has engendered between generations of people across Eastern Europe and the United States. They say VOA continues to be crucially important in the wake of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s consolidation of power.
