On Lady Izdihar’s rec, I checked This Soviet World out from my library. It’s just downright inspiring. Gonna sound corny, but it really makes me feel a lot of emotions. Pride, wonder, awe, and a deep sadness also. The USSR was so fucking good, and its destruction was genuinely one of the worst things in human history. Of course, I know that we can make that happen again, but it’s hard to see it in the midst of :amerikkka:. I think it should be required reading, to give people a real perspective on what is possible.
