ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Dmitry paints a portrait of a Brezhnev-era child’s double life: acting the part of model pioneer in front of teachers and rebelling the moment authority’s back turned — seeking out forbidden writers, music, and ideas.
This episode asks: How do you navigate a society where authority controls every facet of life?
