live and work in .
In their Friendship of Nations, Slavs and Tatars confronted two historical events from two distant regions of the world, developing a surprising analogy between them. One was the Iranian revolution of 1979, in the wake of which Iran became an Islamic republic.The other was the Solidarity revolution in Poland, and the 1989 downfall of communism. In the historical perspective offered by Slavs and Tatars, changes in Poland and Iran prove similar to one another.
