Only a test
Growing up in the 1950's and 60's the Soviet Union was very much a threat. I remember during the Cuban Missile Crisis our mothers in the school parking lot discussing weather or not we would be back in school tomorrow or if Atomic bombs would be dropping in from Russia.
When I was in 4-H, a man came to one of our meetings with a fascinating slide presentation of his trip to Russia. What I remember are the photos of things his guide would allow him to take. Such as the drab apartment complexes and the lack of cars on the streets.
Now I am on the verge or seeing first hand this part of the world and the opportunity to get to know some of it's citizens and to form a new vision of the area.
