Review of The Eastern Border - A great alternate view of the

A great alternate view of the Soviet Union.

☆

“As an American I have always been fascinated by the Soviet Union and what life was really like in the various SSRs. Kristaps provides a look into how the various peoples of the Soviet Union and how they viewed it.

P.S: in regard to one of the other reviewers you don't even have to hear the words "Harry's Shave" or "Nature Box" one time and I will take Patreon begging over that any day!”

☆

“Fascinating show from the perspective of a citizen of Riga, Latvia. He has an excellent command of English for easy listening for us Westerners, and hearing history and culture from his point of view provides us a fuller understanding of the world.”
