Curious just how many of you have them.
ah okay. I was thinking of interviewing one of my parents who also lived there but i wanted to see how common it is here on the site. also the interview idea is kinda stupid since there are literal countries out there full of soviet citizens 💀
anyway. i have three questions that you can answer as briefly as you want: I was wondering how having older people in your family grow up there influence(or didn’t lol) your views on the USSR/communism, do you think you gained some information from the familial relation that you wouldn’t have gained otherwise, and have you ever traveled to a former soviet country because of the link?
One time before 2010 one of my dad’s old buds invited him over for some contract work (my dad’s currently dead, but I suspect he wasn’t allowed to do this under US law) and I got to hang out in Moscow for a few weeks and went to a rural location. I got to meet many cousins and they all kept trying to practice English on me instead of letting me practice Russian.
