CBS This Morning Segment Look ma I'm on the tee-vee.
So, while headlining with a line from ancient Pet Shop Boys ("West End Girls"), I'm curious as to why we haven't got One Obvious / standard documentary to watch for the operation that launched the Soviet Union, the biggest state on the face of the Earth, and incidentally a 100 years old come 2022.

Granted, its origins will be disputed and all that, but hey: We should at least have a couple contenders to choose from, right? So can we make a Top 3 documentaries list for how the Soviet Union happened or got started?
Not asking for a friend, I grew up with a common border with the Soviets, and I even went there when I was 18.
Looking to buy a used station wagon ( <70k km, >2017 model) in Espoo, Finland as my first car. Will be used as my daily driver and family car. I have 1 kid so I will have to put car seat and stroller, hence I would prefer something with good boot space and good leg space in the rear seats.I want a petrol (yearly diesel vehicle tax is 4-5x more than petrol) and automatic vehicle. Don't really care about the looks or performance as such. Just want something comfortable to drive which is also fuel efficient, reliable and cheap to maintain. I would be financing the car and my budget is 15-19k euros.
The cars I have considered so far are: Seat Leon ST, Peugeot 308 SW, Hyundai i30, Skoda Octavia, Toyota Auris 1.8, VW Golf Variant, Kia Ceed
Any suggestions and guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Thankyou!
