This tale from the
Tulsa World harks back to the end of the Evil Empire. If you don't know what that is historically, thank your grandparents and great-grandparents who both held marches for peace, and manned nuclear silos.
This is from the October 10, 1989
World. The "official" collapse of the USSR happened a couple of years later.
This article mentions a plethora of weird tales that have been emanating from the Soviet Union around this time. Could it be that these tales of outré events were part of a disinformation scheme to distract the tovarisches (comrades) from their own real-world miseries?
By the way, pay no attention to that globe behind the curtain! See you Thursday.
