Summary

Greetings, Comrades! This episode is not very good in my mind, telling that honestly – I was in massive pain while recording, and we ended up having to abruptly end it, because it got really bad and I had to get in touch with medical personnel. However, so that the part 2 would make sense, and because I don’t know when exactly I’ll fit in a re-record, I hope that you’ll forgive me and enjoy what can be enjoyed from this episode on Soviet Standards. Which are an interesting subject. Next week, we’re doing something special, stay tuned! Oh, and MASSIVE thank You to all who support our show! It’s situations like these where I value it the most. Merry Christmas everyone!

This episode, well, as it's in Christmassy mood, is going to be a bit lighthearted

1:09.9

than, you know, in the usual episodes,

1:12.2

so to speak. But then again, sometimes you have to talk about the good things.

1:16.9

And what drove me towards this is the fact that everyone who has like this deep nostalgia
