Bosnia and the USSR

From Our Own Correspondent

Available for over a year

Two tales that show how today and the future are deeply marked by what happened in the past. In the city of Mostar, Chris Morris hears Bosnians who are in no hurry to forget what happened during the war, which broke Yugoslavia apart in the mid-1990s. Plus, Lucy Ash learns just what it was like to be a Soviet spacewoman and why Valentina Tereshkova never told anyone she was preparing to go into orbit before the mission.
