Cold war history

I used to be fascinated by the 'Soviety Union' when I was a child.

We had a careers class when I was around 15 and when asked what I wanted to be I said 'a spy'.

Of course, if I'd gone to a 'good' school I'd have been taken seriously.

Spying in Russia seemed quite romantic at the time.

The break-up of the Soviet Union and the eventual fall of the Berlin Wall were of great interest to me.

I very much enjoy learning about the way people lived in the past and what their belief systems were, of all cultures.

I feel resentful towards the smoke-and-mirrors, and how TV portrays it as romantic.

I remember the Communist Block, and its downfall. Nowadays, we're the ones under the thumb of the State.
