Episode description

In Just Send Me Word, the historian recounts the true love story of two young Muscovites, whose smuggled letters to one another form a detailed and agonizing account of life in Stalin’s Soviet Union.

Orlando Figes talks to Stephanie Merritt and introduces a selection of the letters read by Jacqueline Defferary and Alex Jennings from the cast of Collaborators.
