Greetings, comrades! It's always a red banner day when we get to talk about the Soviet Union and Mother Russia. The real "happiest place on Earth."
This time around Chef Money is taking you back to the early days of the USSR, where a "real" Man of Steel was in charge and the de facto "boss of bosses." That's right! Today's episode will feature Josef Stalin, and focus on one of the ways that he consolidated his power - purges.
More specifically, The Great Purge. An event that would see hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of his own citizens and civilians arrested and murdered in the span of two years.
Cheery Communist history aside, as a featured recipe, the Chef is keeping it pun free and serving up a simple and tasty Penne Alla Vodka.
Cheers!
