Soviet For A Day
Dave Price
Lest we forget:
AN adventure park offers a journey back to the Soviet Union with KGB interrogation methods and "beatings" with a leather belt.Odd, but I think this says a lot about how far the former Soviet republics have come. The only thing missing is an animatronic Dan Rather telling them how much better off they are than Americans, and perhaps a Pulitzer-winning Walter Duranty essay breathlessly extolling their socialist utopia.
The 1984 Soviet Union theme park is located outside the Lithuanian capital Vilnius in an old bunker which served as a secret TV station in case of a nuclear attack.
At the conclusion of the tour, visitors receive a special certificate to honour their two hours as "Soviet citizens" and a shot of vodkaNaturally.

And they could always show the Ted Turner documentary on the Soviet Union that Pravda derided as a whitewash.
Of course we all lose our tempers now and then. Dean freely admits to being imperfect in this regard, which is why regulars to this establishment will generally be cut more slack than people who we don't know very well.
Still: behave like an adult, or go find somewhere else to play. Thanks.
