In Communist Russia, Blog Reads You

Greetings comrades, remember the Iron Curtain? Of course we all do, but what was it really like on the other side? I don't know and this won't answer it, but it will let you know which rock bands were forbidden in the USSR in 1985. Only in Russia you say?

Got a scientist fetish combined with a thing for Eastern European beauties? Well you're in luck because here's Russia's Miss Atom, the beauty contest open to workers in Russia's nuclear industry.

Well das vi danya comrades until the next time.
