[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Slightly later period (1985-1999) but I highly recommend watching The Trauma Zone documentary (used to be on YouTube and hopefully still there)
Also remember that this period in history is highly politicized. Eastern Europe is trying to break free from their socialist past and their museums will certainly be politically exaggerated, just as it is now en Vogue in say Russia to romanticize the past. You need to get a balanced view by getting acquainted with both sides.
It’s sad that Russia is [b]perceived as too dangerous/bad form to travel RN[/b], but the Leningrad siege museum in St Pete would be totally worth visiting.

Perceived!

I'll pass on becoming another Brittney Griner, thanks.[/quote]

Just don’t bring your drug paraphernalia and you’ll be ok I promise [/quote]

LOL. If the Russian authorities want to, they’ll “find” all sorts of paraphernalia on you. [/quote]

They don’t want you if you are a lowly tourist

Gretchen please stop trying to make "fetch" happen.[/quote]

You are overestimating your importance in life [/quote]

:lol: 
Too funny! That's essentially what PP is telling you. They don't stream "Mean Girls" in Russia?

Well we brought up on true classics and some some American bubble gum lol [/quote]
