فيه قصص مؤثرة ولكن مليء بالتكرار و ترتيب القصص غير واضح متى تبداء ومتى تنتهي

You think you have problems when your phone freezes or when you are served lukewarm food at some restaurant or when you can't decide what to wear to dinner tomorrow. You THINK you have problems. Read this book and count your blessings.

Rôzne príbehy sovietskych ľudí. Ich potešenie, ale najmä ich problémy súvisiace z prechodom od komunistického režimu k ?liberálnej? demokracii. O tom, čo všetko rozpad Sovietskeho zväzu spôsobil cez príbehy obyčajných ľudí. Super poučná kniha pre mladú generáciu, ktorá si sovietske časy nezažila.

This is one of the most absorbing nonfiction texts I have ever read. It reads like a collection of short stories rather than a collection of oral histories. It has given me a deeper appreciation of Russian history and culture and was an eminently worthwhile text to spend a Christmas holiday with.
