Could You Have Survived in the Late USSR?
Life in the USSR wasn’t just history—it was a daily routine, a silent negotiation, a system you had to navigate. Let’s see how you’d manage.
This is not just a tour—it’s a test.
We walk through the Soviet-built neighborhoods of Tallinn, where concrete blocks still hold echoes of the past. As we move between them, you’ll step into the rhythms of daily life in the late 1980s—from waiting in endless queues to decoding the silent rules of the system.
I’ll share stories of how Estonians lived, worked, and found ways to adapt—but more than that, I’ll challenge you. Could you have handled Soviet bureaucracy? Would you know where to find the things you needed? How would you navigate a world where everything was decided for you—except the ways you found to resist?
