Soviet Cafe’s…and a bit of politics

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!

    While I was in Texas, enjoying the honeymoon I knew I had to record stuff, because the show won't wait for me, but I did not want to do heartbreaking stuff.

We used the rare occasion of a much smaller time zone difference than usual and made this for You - which Alex also posted on his feed too. Enjoy!
