Show Notes: This week, Matt and Cameron get a little over halfway into Grossman’s Stalingrad, covering more themes from the homefront - spending more time with Pavel Andreyev the factory worker and Marusya Shaposhnikova, organizational investigator. Learn a little more about the place of art in the USSR and how every unhappy family is unlike in their own way in Part 5 of our series on Stalingrad. Grab your thoughts on the two truths, sit down, and tune in! Major themes: Cement 2: Grossman Boogaloo, Soviet HR, Zhenya’s Untrue Art See our book list here! 01:09 - I forgot the funniest part of this story which was when we turned on the local radio station and the announcer said, “We have a great diversity of music on this station, just like the great diversity of….Grateful Dead fans out here,” before launching into a Grateful Dead song. Truly iconic. 01:28 - The town name is actually Whiskeytown, my mistake. 01:30 - Also Coffee Creek. Buy this book with our affiliate links on ⁠Bookshop⁠ or ⁠Amazon⁠!
