Summary

Greetings, Comrades!

Today we bring you Anete’s accounts on how it’s like in Cuba. As you heard in the last episode, she was there for about two weeks or so, and recorded two episodes about her experiences. And I hope some nice Soviet nostalgia as well. While I’m packing up and dealing with personal stuff, please enjoy what our talented and glorious soundmaster Anete has to offer. This one’s a bit shorter than usual, but the next one as far as I know is full length again, and then, in the late January you’ll get a massive Stalin. Enjoy!
