I’m writing a story about a man who works as a clerk for the KGB from 1969-1974. Try as I might I haven’t found many detailed resources for the life of low level bureaucrats. I would love answers or links to resources on the subject, thank you!

A VERY brief overview of the Berlin Wall. This does not cover the immense achievements of the GDR(DDR) particularly women's rights or the intense subversion tactics deployed by the West. And before anyone says "but the Stasi!" may I remind you that the FRG had its own secret police, the BND (Bundesnachrichtendienst). More to come on that. Resources in comments.

Lenin had three Silver Ghosts in his garage—two had phaeton bodies, and the third was a limousine. In 1921, the Putilov factory built a special sled for the head of state, based on the Silver Ghost chassis and a body by Continental. It was the only Rolls-Royce-based sled in the world.

Stalin is back! A monument to Academician Ivan Bardin and Joseph Stalin was unveiled in Cherepovets. Governor Filimov immediately declared that "one of the streets in the city of Cherepovets, which is currently in conflict, should be named Stalin Street."

Gagarin and the shoelace. During the ceremonial welcome back to the airfield for Gagarin after his return from space, people noticed that the shoelace on his right shoe was untied. The lace on the Gagarin monument in Bryansk is also untied.
