Customer Reviews
I am a man of communist sorrow
Excited to follow. Great and easily followable history that transitions well into current events. You gotta fan.
So interesting
If you want to find out the back story, and I mean the WAY back story, on what current events in the former Soviet Union mean to their Average Joe citizens today, this is it. Good questions, good answers. The pair works well together.
