Jeanine and Tobias are joined by their friend Ilya Sklyar, who shares stories of his family's experience in Soviet Russia and how its history has molded Russia into the country it is today. Learn about how Ilya's late grandfather encountered atomic submarines in his work as a military officer. Ilya discusses works of art, like the movie Brat ("Brother", in English) from 1997, as well as Russia's finely crafted language of profanities. And yes, Tobias and Ilya did indeed high-five over a book.
