The Soviet Union
Superpower and Sworn Enemy of the USA
1922-1991

December, The Free World celebrates twenty years free of the USSR and the Cold War.

Any ATRLers witness this historic moment? Did you watch the news on your analogue television set while ***ging out to Madonna's Immaculate Collection on your walkman? Too busy watching MTV to notice?

those were crazy times, I remember going thru it for 2 years.

I was living in St. Petersburg at the time and I remember that we were so broke we had to eat our now-useless Soviet flag. Horrible times. I'm still a Communist, though.

I learned about the misuse of the word "communism" today in class. A lot of theologians assert that Jesus was a commie.

Originally posted by £100 I know this was a time of great hardship for most of us. Let it out sis. Back in East Germany people were tryna to auction off the Berlin Wall on eBay (dial-up connections only) to make a quick buck.

In 1990 my uncle had the hammer and sickle imprinted into his brand-new Lada. You can only imagine how angered he was when the USSR fell, and how this led to pure mortification. Not to mention how many people vandalized that poor thing for the rest of the year. I think he became a nomadic Mongol herdsman out of sheer embarrassment.

I was still baking in the oven.
