Description: Get early episodes & ad-free audio on Patreon: https://patreon.com/DrowsyHistorianTonight, we step quietly into the gray rooms of Soviet life — through factories thick with smoke, queues that never end, and kitchens where love and exhaustion share the same table. The HORRIFYING Life of an Alcoholic in Soviet Russiafollows one man’s slow, ordinary collapse inside a system that drank as faithfully as it worked. It’s not a story of villains or heroes, just survival: a nation numbed by routine, a bottle that always tells the truth, and a silence that never really lifts.🛏️ Drowsy Historian’s Favorite Sleep ToolsLooking to upgrade your nighttime routine?
