Back in the USSR focuses on the present struggle in Bolivia, where the people are rising up against the US-backed right-wing military coup that overthrew the democratically elected president Evo Morales, the first indigenous president anywhere in the Americas. Resistance to the coup is growing by the day, even in the face of horrendous violence from fascist forces driven by racism and colonial greed. As Thomas Sankara used to say, "When the people stand up imperialism trembles." Siegfried also makes his radio singing debut, performing the song "Victor Jara" by Christy Moore, in tribute to the great Chilean communist singer-songwriter.
