It Sucked Being a Soviet Soldier feat. Joe Kassabian
Added 2019-08-18 23:01:59 +0000 UTCThis week's bonus episode features podcast partner, author, and historian Joe Kassabian (@jkass99) — the co-host of the Lions Led by Donkeys podcast — in a discussion about Svetlana Alexeivich's "BOYS IN ZINC" (previously translated as "THE ZINKY BOYS"). It's a book about the Soviet experience in Afghanistan, and Joe offers some insight as to why it was not fun being a Soviet conscript. Hope you enjoy! Sorry if you think this is counterrevolutionary uwu
