    I can’t believe some of the things you’ve shown us - creepy, haunting, and yet totally fascinating. Hearing the birds and seeing the moose, it’s like nature just does its thing, unaware of the horrors that might be lurking. Such important work you’re doing, Nick. Everyone should see these videos, not just listen to what we’re told by people who have ulterior motives. Thanks for another great series and all the best on your next adventure!!

    Once again I feel that Igor has an odd connection to me. I was a child of the 1980s in Britain. We too were convinced that any day nuclear war would break out. I too remember waking in the night, terrified by that thought. The difference I see here and in other documentaries I've watched about the Soviet era is that we were given no masks. There were no public air raid shelters built for us. We knew for certain that should it happen we would be on our own, trying to survive. That the government had made no provisions for us. They told us things like "Take off the internal doors in your house and build a lean-to against an interior wall. Then stack mattresses on top of those doors and don't leave that shelter for 7 days" They also said things like "If someone in your shelter dies, put them in bin bags then carry them outside and write their name on a tag so the local authorities can identify them."
    I think you should watch a film called Threads, Nick. It was on the BBC on September 23rd, 1984. I know the date for certain because it was one day after my 12th birthday. Both my parents worked night shift and I was home with only my Gran who was blind and sleeping upstairs. I can recall clearly being so frightened by the stark and awful spectre of a post-nuclear war world it presented that I crept up the stairs and sat on the floor of her room all night. Not wanting her to be alone and afraid if it happened. I was haunted by the idea that I might have to put her in bin bags and leave her like she was rubbish to be collected by strangers as had happened to the Gran in that film.
    The next day at school all our talk was about how we should start collecting canned food and bottling up water and what we could use to build a better shelter than the doors and mattresses ones in the film. Many of us joined CND (Citizens for Nuclear Disarmament) in the next few weeks.
    It was a terrifying time to be a child, no matter what side of the iron curtain we were on. From that Sunday night when I sat alone watching Threads I wanted only to work to bring peace and friendship between the East and the West. So that we all would have a chance to grow up and to know one another. Hearing Igor talk tells me that I was right when I thought "Their children are just like us. They have friends just as we do. They laugh at the things we laugh at and they are afraid of things we are afraid of. They don't want to die in a nuclear war either. They could be my friends and I don't want my government to kill them and their Grans any more than I want their government to kill me and my Gran."
    Thank you for allowing Igor to show me I was right. If you ever see him again please tell him that I'm so pleased we both made it out of the Cold War alive. And thank you for making your wonderful films. By showing us the shared humanity we have with those who live in "other" places you are working to teach so many people that we have much more in common with those strangers in strange lands than we have things which make us different. Igor was never my enemy; we were brother and sister - and his children are my children's brothers and sisters.
