Smashed in the USSR: Fear, Loathing and Vodka on the Steppes | C. S. Walton, Ivan Petrov

2 posts | 2 to read

Ivan Petrov was born in 1934 in the industrial town of Chapaevsk. His father was shot by Stalin as an 'enemy of the people', and Ivan was brought up by his mother and violent stepfather - both alcoholics, along with most of the rest of the town. By his early 20s, Ivan had also succumbed to the lure of the bottle. 'Smashed in the USSR' is his eye-opening, frequently eye-watering story.

Excuse the glare, but I'm SUPER excited about this vintage classroom wall map I found while thrifting! 😍

I mean, okay, it's not a book, but you can still read it. 😝

Mdargusch I have a vintage school map hanging on my wall and I love it! 8y

OffTheBeatenShelf.com @Mdargusch so fun! Does yours focus on a certain area of the world or is it everything? 8y

Mdargusch My map is the United States in the 1800's. 8y

This seems to give a both terrifying and fascinating insight into what life as an outsider in a harsh regime must have been like. So far the book holds no punches and I expect true horrors to surface later.
