Russia

Více o knize

David K. Shipler's interactions with the people he met in Russia--citizens from all walks of life--are eeh heart of this involving personal narrative. Probing beneath the usual surface observations, stereotypes, and official government rhetoric, the former Moscow bureau chief of The New York Times carefully analyzes the loss of faith and the bankrupt ideology that afflict the Soviet system and society today. Mr. Shipler's eye-opening, indelible anecdotes crystallize what is truly Russian behind the facade. Memorable and eminently human, this is the book that clearly records the state of mind of the Russian people for the first time. Cover design by Neil Stuart/Cover Illustration by Hodges Soileau
