My dad was an officer of the soviet army, but also that's all that there was to read in soviet union.https://twitter.com/danlistensto/status/990937841550192641 …

glad you like it) have you read the second one? I might have to start a second account for nonfiction so I don't bore people who follow me for my art. even if no one will care it might be interesting to my daughter when she grows up.

I really enjoy learning about the lives of people whose upbringing and formative years were so different than my own. For me, books were always abundant and cheap and I could get a new one whenever I wanted. A much needed escape from the parts of my world that I didn't like.

One of the recurring themes that I keep finding as people tell me more stories like this is that our imaginations, and the works of art and literature that comes from them, are not luxuries. Any government that tries to stamp them out has signed its own eventual death warrant.
