10 - 1960s Road Trip Across the Soviet Union - a podcast by Ian Sanders

Jeremy Poynton was a 16 year old school boy in 1968 when he embarked on a memorable trip by road from Leningrad to Odessa.

He vividly describes a Soviet Union still struggling with poverty and a diverse range of peoples from city dwellers to remote Chechen villagers.

It’s a unique story as Jeremy details his experiences and the sights of a 1960s Soviet Union just as the Prague Spring was being suppressed.

I hope you enjoy our chat as much as I did, we welcome Jeremy Poynton.
