Fire up the samovar and pour the vodka!

I am joined this week by Maya Vinogradova, naturalized US Citizen and native Russian, to talk about life in the Soviet Union and making the transition to life in the West.

Music this week includes clips from The Final Countdown by Europe; U.S.S.R. by Eddy Huntington; Moscow by Dschinghis Khan; and My Life by Kristina Orbakaite.
