You have a lot of chutzpah going there to make the recording or maybe it was just your age at the time and not realizing the dangers. What a story and the tape to prove it!
Yeah, I had the Big Hair going on LOL! And thank you for the compliment.

I think it was a little of both... chutzpah and not realizing the dangers. I never felt like I was in danger in the USSR, even during the military coup when Bush Sr. advised all Americans to leave the country. I was supposed to stay in my apartment, but instead I went out into the streets and protested along with the Russians. It was really a fascinating time and I feel honored that I was there to witness such massive change.
