Bernie Sanders spent his honeymoon in the Soviet Union?

This is what I heard while channel surfing last night past Fox news. Is this really true? If so,  a lot of people won't vote for him just because of this. I tried to fact find but so far no luck. 

Found it. Look towards the bottom of the page below the Personal life section from Wikipedia:

Personal life

Sanders with his wife Jane O'Meara in Des Moines, Iowa, January 2016
Sanders married Deborah Shiling in 1964 and they bought a summer home in Vermont; they had no children and divorced in 1966. Over the next few years, he took various jobs in New York and Vermont and spent several months on the Israeli kibbutz Sha'ar HaAmakim.[36][217][218] His son, Levi Sanders, was born in 1969 to girlfriend Susan Campbell Mott.[219] In 1988, Sanders married Jane O’Meara Driscoll (née Mary Jane O'Meara), who later became president of Burlington College, in Burlington, Vermont.[220] With her he has three stepchildren—Dave Driscoll, Carina Driscoll, and Heather Titus (née Driscoll)—whom he considers to be his own children.[36][221] He also has seven grandchildren.[222]
In December 1987, during his tenure as mayor, Sanders recorded a folk album titled We Shall Overcome with 30 Vermont musicians. As Sanders was not skilled at singing, he performed his vocals in a talking blues style.[223][224] Sanders appeared in a cameo role in the 1988 comedy-drama film Sweet Hearts Dance, playing a man who distributes candy to young trick-or-treaters.[225] In 1999, he acted in the film My X-Girlfriend's Wedding Reception, playing the role of Rabbi Manny Shevitz. In this role he mourned the Brooklyn Dodgers moving to Los Angeles, reflecting Sanders' own upbringing in Brooklyn.[226] On February 6, 2016, Sanders was a guest star alongside Larry David on Saturday Night Live, playing a Polish immigrant on a steamship that was sinking near the Statue of Liberty.[227]
Sanders's elder brother, Larry Sanders, lives in England.[228] He was a Green Party county councillor representing the East Oxford division on Oxfordshire County Council, until he retired from the Council in 2013.[229][230] Larry Sanders ran as a Green Party candidate for Oxford West and Abingdon in the 2015 British general election and came in fifth.[231][232] Bernie told CNN, "I owe my brother an enormous amount. It was my brother who actually introduced me to a lot of my ideas."[232]
