Really interesting read, although a cumbersome read, to see the history of the USSR through the eyes of food. From deplorable times of great famine to times of plentiful, food says a lot about the condition and politics of a nation. And in this nations case; totally bonkers ... und yet one can imagine why people long back to the USSR.
