As someone who is working on a PhD. in post-Stalin USSR and Russia, let me just say that this is fascinating and thank you for your time in doing this! I have two questions:

  1. What is your general opinion of Gorbachev's reforms [Perestroika/Glasnost]? Did it harm or help the country, and if it did help, did it only benefit a section of society?

  2. This is under the assumption that you're not from the Baltic region, but how did you view the Balts? I know a lot of former residents of the USSR who are distrustful of them for a number of reasons, and I was wondering if it was a wide spread thing?

Thanks!

I'm someone who already has an bachelors degree in history and some graduate coursework. I'm looking to go back to school for an associates in Respiratory Therapy, and I had a 3.92 GPA throughout my undergrad and I had a 4.0 in my graduate coursework but terrible grades in high school (approx. a 68/100 average). I was wondering if there scholarships for individuals going back to community college after obtaining a bachelors? Thanks!
