Commie Radios

By

Reading time 1 minute

This museum of radios features pieces from the heady, Commie days of our Neighbor With a Vodka Problem, Russia. Thrill at the amazing Sirius, pictured above, which proves that Sirius carried the voices of loud-mouthed, dictatorial zealots even before they hired Howard Stern. Giggle at the radium lamps of the radiogramophones over which the Workers would listen to the Soviet tell them that they were doing pretty damn good even though they had to eat the pig one leg at a time.

Ah, Communism. We miss your misguided attempts at world-changing utopias.
