Soviet Flashback

Humorous Behind-the-Scenes Glimpse of Estonian Life Under Russian Rule Hear an entertaining perspective on Estonian life in Soviet days as you tour Tallinn with an actor as your guide. Meet your guide—part comedian, part bard—for a ride in his authentic Soviet-era bus, during which he will share stories about life in the USSR. Observe how tourists were welcomed into the Soviet Union and view typical propaganda. As you drive past the former harbor and Freedom Square, listen to stories of the lives of people who lived under USSR rule. Learn what life was like, how they became free 30 years ago and how they made the transition to the people and the city you see today. While you learn about this intriguing era, sample regional products, including vodka and pickles. Continue to the Soviet Statue Graveyard, where you can view the resting place of sculptures of old Soviet leaders. En route back to your ship, enjoy stories of the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games. * Easy - Walking portions are generally over easy surfaces with few steps or inclines.
