13th day of independence from dreadful occupation by USSR. Little boy arrives to his first day of school to find out that he is anything but ordinary – he is part of a problem. And seems that this problem is never going away – no matte how hard he tries, he will forever be seen as “the other amongst his own and one of their own amongst the others”. And so the tale of “post-soviet” upbringing begins!

“Dorky and chubby "half-blood" kid born out of the Cold War era “darkness” of the USSR goes on to witness the rebirth of his homeland through the edgy yet sheepishly silly 90s to become a trinity of degrees sporting college professor and school teacher who moonlights as a bouncer and comedian. Welcome to the rocky road of an Eastern-European youth on his way to greatness. What you will hear is silly, shocking and sugar-coat free. In one way or another, everything in this tale of two clans has happened to the narrator. And somehow he’s still standing!”

Post-Soviet Upbringing is the tale of two clans that affects the the life of the storyteller. Estonian on his mothers side, Russian on his fathers side he becomes a “smoothy” of tumultuous 90's! Whatever he does is never good enough for one or the other of his “families”. And in the end he finds himself joyfully lost in the “otherness” of his cultural roots.
