		<description>Soviet Union and shaping current Russia and it’s Government and Ideologies. The government of the USSR.  History of the Soviet rule. Laws, culture and everyday life of a Soviet citizen. What did they see? How did they get by? What did they go through? And what is left after the collapse of USSR?
The other side of the cold war - talking about politics in the EU, history of the USSR and the Eastern European region in general. Mostly for Americans, who also happen to be history geeks. Also, we&#039;re all friends here, and have beer!</description>
