Vadim was at school in Moscow during the 1970s and 80s. He attended an Advanced English Studies School where all subjects were taught however, the focus was on English.
He provides us with insights into the setup of Soviet education as well as the school life, teaching methods, and pop culture.
We hear how the British newspaper “Morning Star” was a key teaching aid for Soviet English students.
