Inspired by Walter Benjamin's iconic image of the "Angel of History", tonight Back in the USSR examines the vital role that the history of working class and oppressed people has in driving and sustaining the political struggles of the present day all over the world. As Michael Parenti said, "we are linked by a past that is never dead nor ever really past." Siegfried also sings his own tribute to the brave Irish hunger-striker, Ray McCreesh.
