Some synonyms for this term include the "iron veil," "the cold divide," and "the Soviet blockade." These phrases highlight the way in which the Iron Curtain was used to keep the Soviet Union isolated from the rest of the world, both politically and culturally.

Despite its fall in 1989, the legacy of the Iron Curtain still lingers in today's political discourse.
