It’s really good, but I got overwhelmed by sadness and might finish it later.
Feel like shit, just the USSR back.
Edit: it’s really nice after taking a break. Very wholesome. I learned that Odessa was designated a “Hero city of the Soviet Union” after resisting for 69 days (nice).
Dockworkers earned more money than ship captains. Badass.
There were multiple variations of some poster that I remember seeing a while ago that said something along the lines of "A factory worker makes a better wage than Stalin!", badass indeed.
Edit: Not a poster, but a quote from Theodore Dreiser, an American journalist who visited the Soviet Union and said "The miner's salary is higher than Stalin's salary!" in his book he published titled "Theodore Dreiser and the Soviet Union"
