My Perestroika (Documentary, 2010)
Director: Robin Hessman
The last generation that grew up under communism in the Soviet Union faced turbulent times. Here 5 of them are interviewed about what it was before and after.
They’ve all taken different paths. A single mother, married teachers, a dropped-out musician and an entrepreneur. Their present lives are contrasted with old film from when they were children.
With Putin the more things have changed, the more they remain the same.
Worth watching.
One of the cats and I made a trip to the vet. It took me 20 minutes or so to get him in a carrier. I couldn’t manage to use the small carrier, but instead stuffed him in the bigger cat, well, yurt. Hard to carry and I felt the need to keep explaining why the cat was in it.
He has hyperthyroidism and got some pills. Teeny, tiny ones that have to be cut in half and given every 12 hours. The first time the little scamp managed to eat the soft food around the pill and leave it. How we laughed. And these pills must never be touched by humans, use gloves to maneuver this tiny, tiny pill. Ha. I bought a pill cutter and use tweezers.
