I came across this article on how the Soviet Union citizens often had BBQ’s during the summer. Contrary to what we were taught here about the ‘poor people trapped behind the iron curtain’, they lived somewhat normal lives. This article shows how they had get togethers consisting of friends and family. Every Russian man had his own secret marinade. Each one differed slightly. Just like here in America. I can remember summers with my late father lighting the grill to cook out over the fire. Like here in America, grilling was considered a man’s job in the Soviet Union.
