After watching Funny Girl as a kid with my mom, I developed a crush on Omar Sharif and begged to watch Dr. Zhivago and fell in love with it. I even had a music box that played "Somewhere, My Love." I was a weird kid. Haha. One of these days (years), I'll read the book too! #rockinmay #backintheussr
This looks promising. #backintheussr #rockinmay
This is on my TBR pile. I got recently the Spanish translation after reading so many great reviews. It tells the story of many victims and survivors of the Chernobyl nuclear tragedy #BackintheUSSR #RockinMay
#rockinmay #backintheussr A little different here with a ballet-themed Japanese manga from the 1970's/80's. In volumes 3-6 (pictured here) the dancers go to Russia to perform, and show that Japanese ballet is up there with the best in the world. A lovely manga series with beautiful artwork! #manga #ballet
pickFocusing on the Ukrainian experience during World War II, this novel tells an utterly heartbreaking but still inspiring story. The circumstances are tragic, horrific, and haunting, but the perseverance and resilience shine in the midst of the darkness. (I received a free copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.) #RockinMay #BackInTheUSSR

I read this in the '80s when I was young and impressionable and loved it. This paperback was an old and ugly hand-me-down even then and I can't quite figure out what nostalgic part of me has kept it all these years. 🤔 Has anyone else read it?

pickGotta give a shout out to the hubby for recommending this one. Korean war was relatively unknown to me. Learned about President Truman's and General MacArthur's relationship. And while not set in the USSR it does describe the Soviet Communist influence at that time. So I'm using it for #backintheussr
