The most exiting part to us was that we discovered a whole world that was hidden or distorted.

To a lesser extent, this is how we all live now. The cure is travel.

Since moving from western europe to eastern I've gained so much insight. Talking to people from the communist times is always so very eye opening.

Thanks for the AMA, love things like this!

The book is written by an englishman who was (at least at the time) against communism. Not written by someone who lived in communism. It's a good book, but just keep that in mind when you read it. Be as critical against it's message as you should be against anything else. But great read!

Can you travel freely in Belarus? AFAIK it's the last 'real' dictatorship in Europe still. How free is it?
