Good discussion, and thank you for bringing on Alex Krainer!

Apropos looking for good movies, check out these 1970's Russian films. The first is a classic, the last two are comedies poking fun at aspects of the Soviet system. All evince deeper humanity and elements of the Russian Soul (which was not lost during the Soviet period!)

1. Moscow does not believe in tears https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTWA_7-ld_U

2. The Irony of Fate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ms5Ga6kNvHM (popular New Years Eve movie!)

3. Office Romance (Slushebni Roman) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mi4gQMDgB_g

Enjoy!

I watched this 3 times to process the in depth information. I have followed Alex on other platforms as well as his Substack. I live part time in Europe so have a vested interest in keeping up to date with all the mindless shenanigans. Both Matt and Gordon make me appreciate the fact that the world is still safe in the hands of the thinking young and informed.

These 3 big brained guys are awesome - as individuals and together. Breaking History is a must watch every week for me. I learn so much these days - something we did not have available to us years ago. Better late than never to come to the table. Great show today and every week. I hope to see Alex there again and more often.
