great article, thx
I suspect there is an endless reservoir of stories that we will never hear about because of the secretive nature of the former USSR, too bad because I bet they would be fascinating and enlightening.
A great podcast I highly recommend that talks about the War between USSR & Germany on the eastern front of Russia during WW2 can be found here:

stunning to hear what went on there and makes you realize how much of a cakewalk our lives are today
