Greetings, Comrades!Today’s episode is dedicated to Sports in the Soviet Union. We gathered what interesting stories we could about the subject, that show the spirit of the times, and put them here. This episode, although a bit short, is still one of the funniest I’ve made. And slightly depressing as usual, but…in the end, it’s about real people stories – and athletes have some of the best one’s to tell. Enjoy!Soviet speed skater Evgeny Grishin. This picture becomes instantly funny once you listen to the episode.<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheEasternBorder?a=-vWg9Yin2hI:aayXnN9J3zE:yIl2AUoC8zA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheEasternBorder?a=-vWg9Yin2hI:aayXnN9J3zE:qj6IDK7rITs" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a>Support this show <a target="_blank" rel="payment" href="http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder">http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder</a>.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
