Join us on Friday 27th November in the Museum at 2pm, as Lee Steptoe explores the decades-long nuclear standoff between the communist and capitalist blocs, tracing how ideological rivalry, arms competition, and political change ultimately led to the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War.
Speaker Bio – Born and raised in Grantham, Lee Steptoe spent over 30 years teaching History at a local secondary school.
