Greetings, Comrades! As we promised to Bob, here's our episode on the postal service of the USSR. This was a huge subject and we had to cut some stuff out as this was already a long episode - but it's chock full of interesting facts and stories, like a care package sent to some poor conscript in Vorkut or Khabarovsk. This episode made me realize that logistics are a nightmare and that folks who care about our mail are unsung heroes. And hey - if some of them will listen to this ep, while doing their delivieries, it'll make me a tad bit happier. This one's dedicated to you, postal workers!

Soviet Standards, Part1 (Accidentally)
Greetings, Comrades! This episode is not very good in my mind, telling that honestly – I was in massive pain while recording, and we ended up having to abruptly end it, because it got really bad and I had to get in touch with medical personnel. However, so that the part 2 would make sense, and because I don’t know when exactly I’ll fit in a re-record, I hope that you’ll forgive me and enjoy what can be enjoyed from this episode on Soviet Standards. Which are an interesting subject. Next week, we’re doing something special, stay tuned! Oh, and MASSIVE thank You to all who support our show! It’s situations like these where I value it the most.
