Show Notes
The USSR dissolved 30 years ago this week, so Terrell sat down with two people in a former Soviet colony who are living through the aftermath.
Olga Tokariuk and Illia Ponomarenko are journalists in Ukraine where Russian troops are currently occupying Crimea. With the threat of a larger invasion always literally on the eastern horizon, people in Ukraine have learned to prepare for the worst while continuing to build the country they want to live in.
Subjects include the current build up of troops by Putin's regime, little-known reasons for the fall of the Soviet Union, and what they're looking forward to in 2022.
Merry Christmas from Black Diplomats!
