Join the Los Alamos History Museum for History on Tap, for an engaging discussion about the Soviet side of the Cold War with Samantha Lippard. History on Tap, part of the On Tap series presented by the Los Alamos Creative District, is 5:30 p.m. today at UnQuarked, 145 Central Park Square.

How did the other side live during the Cold War? This edition of History on Tap will explore the Soviet side of the Cold War, from Levi’s blue jeans and the British Invasion to cosmonauts and Soviet television. Come learn about the many ways in which the Soviet Union and the United States were similar during this turbulent period, as well as the unique experiences of the Soviet people.

Lippard graduated from Texas Tech University in 2013 with a degree in Russian Language and Area Studies and a degree in History. She loved her time at Texas Tech so much, she returned and graduated in 2015 with a Master’s degree in European history with a focus on Soviet history. During her time at Texas Tech, her areas of study were Soviet sports history and Soviet social policies in Central Asia and the Caucasus.
