How can anyone know that it's a nightmare when it's never actually existed? From what I can recall, I think it sounds pretty nice. It's a utopia, we don't know what it would be like yet, because nobody ever got to that state.

Anyway, this travel blog is about the PRESENT state of things in these countries. The past, and the Soviet era years are only relevant in the way that they affect the present.
Here in Belarus there are quite a lot of Soviet memorials and so on still around, so it's easy to get reminded of it though.
