I’ve heard some stories from friends of mine (mostly Romania and Poland, which is not the USSR, I know), but it turned out (I wasn’t so sharp on the timeline) that they were between sth like 2 and 9 when communism fell. And it’s still interesting to hear these stories, but when I think about my views and knowledge of the world when I was 6, I don’t come up with much that’s worth listening to. So I appreciate meeting someone who remembers the USSR!
Were you politically active? Was that possible at all? Did you have a strong opinion on Gorbachev? Did it change in 1991?
