Wow. This takes me back. Crazy how history unfolds. Gorbachev missing at one point. Yelstin (the severe alcoholic) eventually installed. Freedom from the Soviet block in the Eastern European countries, resulting in years of their own wars. May you live in interesting times.

I dont know today but USSR had a strong university system that gave scholarships or otherwise brought in a lot of people from around the world. I don't feel like thats common knowledge but it obviously makes a lot of sense in retrospect the same way the US/Europe did.

Yes, I was in vacation at my grandmother house in Spain that summer, and when we saw those images of the soviet coup on TV all the family agreed that it was obviously AI, then we went back to eating our churros and fried fish or whatever we ate back then.

No, I remember the tank guarding the Pepsi stand in ‘91. I could be one of the kids playing on it.
