I’m interested in hearing about the personal experiences of living in the USSR without making it a political conversation. Rather, just what life was like, the good and the bad, from a nonjudgmental human perspective.

    Kvas, a sweet beverage made out of fermented bread. I think it tastes way better than soft drinks so I’m not sure why everyone isn’t drinking it. Maybe it’s an acquired taste?

    Interesting! There’s a Russian store/deli near my place where I get my loose leaf green tea. I’ll swing by and pick some up to give it a try. Thanks for sharing!

      I have found kvas in Russian delis to vary in quality quite a bit, but unfortunately I don’t remember which brands I liked and which I didn’t. Good luck!
