About this listen

 We’re going to space—Soviet style. We discuss predictions about space exploration throughout the Soviet Union history, the last Soviet cosmonaut, and a queer Russian-language sci-fi short story! Tune in for fascinating discussions with special guests Fred Scharmen (author of Space Forces: A Critical History of Life in Outer Space) and Syinat Sultanalieva (author of sci-fi short story "Element 174")!
