Summary

Steven wants to go off the grid where nobody will have any advantage on the trivia topic. So where else to go other than Soviet Siberia to talk about niche Soviet science experiments? Steven leads Cooper, Ethan, and Aidan on a wild ride through remnants of Soviet academia. Before the Iron Curtain fell, the USSR funded projects that might seem crazy today... Just crazy enough to work.
