re: Soviet Union History

just stumbled onto this thread. I grew up in the 80s, and people always talked about the Russians, or the communists, etc., so that part of the world has always sort of fascinated me. Over the years, I've ended up with a small collection of old Soviet artifacts, mostly clocks and cameras, although I do have an old Soviet rotary phone (that still works). Anyway, I look forward to digging into some of the books listed.

Korolev: How One Man Masterminded the Soviet Drive to Beat America to the Moon
This book is an interesting history of the Space Race from the Soviet side and goes into a lot of detail concerning conditions in the USSR in the 1950s and 1960s. You'll come away being impressed by how incredible an engineer Korolev was and how amazing it was for the Soviets to manage to accomplish what they did in space.

I would absolutely love for Dan Carlin to do a Hardcore History series on the Soviet Union
