LOL. When I was a senior in high school 64-65, my senior English paper was "The New Liberalism in Soviet Literature: The Khrushchev Year (1954-1964)". I made a B+ on it. I reworked for my college freshman year English class and made an A.

I remember my history teacher recommended this book to us in 11th grade maybe. Being a kid that was interested in all things communist and cold war I naturally read it. Lets see what you have to say about it!

Although factually The Gulag Archipelago hasn’t aged well (simply for being written in the 60s by a Soviet author with limited access to records), it perfectly and tragically captures the mass repression of the Soviet citizenry. Really just amazing writing.

I expected something about the Death of Stalin (the fact, not the movie) but still, very interesting. Dunno why this channel is so underrated 💪

[@howilearned2stopworrying508]

check out Stanislaw Lem - brilliant sci fi author and satirist - I find the Cyberiad to be as funny as anything Douglas Adams wrote. He did clever take downs of the security state but got past the censors because it was in the context of fantasy robot kings, courts, and guards.

Stalinism ended when he and Beria died, not a moment sooner.

I read /One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich/ as a 14-year-old. I felt chilled as I went through it, not that it was scary, but by the dreariness yet clarity of its depictions and the weighty oppressiveness of the camp conditions and routine.

Wonder if at some point will get some Canadian history during the cold war? Since David is Canadian, I was just curious if you have plans to talk about Canadian history at some point.

I've only read the Archipelago Gulag from Solchenizyn, but i preferred Lev Kopelev's "Chranitshy Vietshno" (retain infinitely) which has a very similar story arc but a way more approachable narrative.

The Cold War, can you make a video on Argentina during the era of Juan Peron. It would mean a lot to me if you made a video on this topic, since your audience will understand how Argentina's economy, politics and society all ended up as they are today.

Cool!!!! Will the next episode be the story about Andrei Sakharov?😊

[@brokenbridge6316]

Nice video

[@kisungyoon6662]

I have heard of his name for years, and the first time was in the 1976 US vice-presidential debate between Mondale and Dole.

[@bobdollaz3391]

I hope Eduard Norton Plays him in any upcoming biopic

[@Numba003]

Well, I'm gonna have to try to read this book sometime I suppose. It sounds very intriguing. Thank you for another excellent episode (and book recommendation).
