The Girl from the Metropol Hotel: Growing Up in Communist Russia by Ludmilla Petrushevskaya

4.0

Fascinating. I have a clearer understanding of her fairy-tales now. What a horrific childhood she--and so many others like her--had under Stalin's insanity and Soviet ridiculousness. Sleeping under a table in a room with people who mostly hated her and her mother: insane.
