I learnt some of my Australian geography, to wit, the location of some
of our Uranium mines, from maps written in cyrillic.
Some of the information was hilariously innaccurate though.
25 years ago I was doing my best to make sure the right side won the
Cold War. I don't miss those days one bit.
It was interesting when the wall came down, and we got access to the
goodies from the late unlamented DDR.
