How would you interpret ‘wide-open moment’ in the context? How strange, that this is the wide-open moment Lev spent his life hoping for. With America brimming with brotherly love for the Soviets, our own laborers on the march, and Russia with everything to gain, it seems the right time to support them in tossing out Stalin’s bureaucrats and finishing the democratic socialist revolution as Lenin intended. Or, it could go the other way, our two nations falling apart like split kindling. Mr. Churchill seems to want that. “From the Baltic to the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the Continent.” How would you interpret ‘wide-open moment’ in the first sentence? Thanks! And it’s from The Lacuna by Kingsolver.

It's a moment of opportunity, where nothing is standing in your way. The door is open.
