The political organization of my local region of Earth wouldn’t be top of mind for my last letter to my family, personally.



I'm sure he knew a party officer would read the letter and he wanted to ensure his widow's loyalty wouldn't be questioned. Such was life in the Soviet Union.


It’s not just a political organisation, it’s a political movement that completely reorganised and changed Russian society since 1917. One may argue, that it’s the reason behind accelerated economic and scientific development that lead to space exploration.


What a feeling to actually belong to something larger than yourself.
