Join us as we explore the depths of totalitarianism in the Soviet Union. From the pervasive control of the Communist Party, to the centrally planned economy, and the paradox of progress amidst repression, we dissect the complex layers of this formidable era. Discover how the lives of millions were shaped under the weight of political fear, and yet how society evolved in literacy, industrialization, and national unity. Tune in to this riveting exploration of a time of extremes, where control and fear walked hand in hand with progress and pride."
