Ok then, good. :)

well yeah something like that. Car? does one need a car in Manhattan?
so - I was in a big city with subway, buses, taxis, trams, trolleys, etc. - no need to own a car and be desperate to find a place to keep it (ever seen the Soviet movie "Garage"? it's a treat :)

You don't know what you are talking about (unless you were there) so please don't.
For one, it is NOT Russia, it is the USSR.

Medical care was pretty good in 1970s-80s.
I know some will jump to argue, but I was there, and had my daughter there, and medical care was pretty good, and nobody cared about "medical coding" and "billing" - neither doctors nor patients - single payer.
My family lived in the same apartment for decades, so I was a kid,…

Late to the party - but - I have all the same questions! And no offense to the fans, I do not care much about the Mail (male) Robot as I do about these questions and answers to them.
BTW, it's funny but not so funny, creepy actually - TASS stood for "Telegraphnoye Agentstvo Sovetskogo Soyuza" (Telegraph Agency of the…

thanks!

Soviet passport. js

you guys keep raving about this podcast. where is it ?

I know, I am sorry man, I didn't mean to sound critical or anything.
Russian history is a fascinating thing - no matter what they try, they go back to tyranny and oppression. But I digress :)
