Overview
Have you ever wondered what life was really like in the Soviet Union, not from books or documentaries, but from the streets, the buildings, and the voices of those who lived it?
Join me on a walk through time as we uncover the strange, strict, and sometimes surreal world of the USSR. We’ll explore Soviet architecture and public spaces that still carry the weight of the past. Along the way, I’ll share personal stories, some hidden, some never officially told, about daily life, control, resistance, and quiet moments of joy under a powerful regime.
From the food people ate to the music they secretly loved, from what was said in public to what was only whispered at home, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of this complicated history chapter through real human stories.
If you’re curious about the truth behind the myths, this is your chance to see and feel it for yourself.
