Synopsis
Burt Caesar tells the story of the students who, for three decades from the 1960s, were sent from developing countries to study in the Soviet Union, in the hope that they might become sympathetic to state socialism. He finds out what it was like to for them live and study in the USSR at the height of the Cold War, the long-term impact of the political scholarships and where the former students are now.
