Greetings, Comrades!

This time, we go back to people’s stories time, and, I’m happy to announce that this is the last ep recorded on the Kalvis’s PC, so we should be back to normal soon. This one is all about how Soviet cafe’s and restaurants operated. And why getting into one was more expensive than the meals themselves. Oh, and a little bit of weird politics at the end. Enjoy!

Greetings, Comrades!

Today is Latvia’s Independence Day! The first time one, happened right after WW1. However, there is some weirdness around it, and our founding father Ulmanis is with a bit of a mired history. So there we go. Enjoy!

Greetings Comrades!

Sadly, this ep, and the next one, were pulled out from my in case of emergency, break glass box, and recorded on a very non-suitable equipment. You’ll hear on the show, but I hope that you’ll enjoy this story about one of the actually pretty neat and good things the Soviets did. The late space station “Mir”. Enjoy!
