Ep 6 Cold War Colored Glasses
Teddy Goes to the USSR explored American tourism, KGB surveillance, consumerism, race, and daily life through Teddy Roeâs trip to the USSR. And many of Teddyâs observations were inevitably informed by the Cold War and American tropes. So, what to make of Teddyâs journey and what it says about Soviet life? In this final episode, TGU host Sean Guillory and historian Leah Goldman highlight key moments in the series to tease out the contradictions and reflect on Americaâs and the Soviet Unionâs entangled relationship.
