This year, those children born when Communism collapsed in eastern Europe in 1989 turn 18. Reuters is running a mini- series on the theme which will culminate in a multimedia package this week.

Look for stories about Poland's young environmental activists (Monday 19), how young Poles head west (Tuesday 20) what Che Guevara means for Hungary's young Socialists (Wednesday 21), and young hedonist Czechs (Thurs 22).

The stories will be accompanied by interviews, a chronology, a graphic, pictures and video and the series will culminate in an overview and Web page grouping them together on March 22.
