Thanks, there were not many happy stories under the Soviet Union, I highly recommend that anyone interested read the works of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia the real of story of what millions of people had to suffer under defective ideology is something everyone needs to understand.

Get your eyes wide open. Wake up.

I'm floored. I just cannot get over this documentary. It's like watching some sort of dark, depressing comedy.

I have to wonder how much of this culture is still present in Russian aviation today.

The russian military pipeline seems to produce some very interesting commercial pilots.

Over the years it,s been westernized to some extent.
As someone who experienced the collapse of the Soviet Union I found this story interesting ,comments section is of particular interest.
