Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
A generation of children growing up in the Soviet Union during the 1980s came of age as the communist system collapsed. Two decades of political and economic upheaval followed. A new documentary captures the dreams and disillusionment of the last generation of Russians to grow up under the Soviet system, and their surprising nostalgia for the past.
Guests
- Robin Hessman Documentary filmmaker
- Stephen Sestanovich Professor of diplomacy at Columbia University and a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations.
