Reviews

[phoebe]

a very humanising first hand account of the first years of the USSR. the determination and passion of the soviet people is something to learn from for generations to come!

[Dan Sharber]

this book is a remarkable snapshot of russia right after the revolution. it was after war communism and the end of the great famine and the early, heady days of the new economic policy. this is a realistic and practical examination of many many aspects of life in russian during this time. you get an idea of how education, housing, utilities, the oil industry, alcohol consumption/regulation etc etc were all run and transformed. this is a book for people who have practical questions about what socialism would 'look' like. the tragedy of this story - though coming after the book was written and published - was that the possibilities of the revolution were smothered by stalin and the rising bureaucracy. the most common fear expressed more by the people in the book was the revolution being strangled by american capital (which was desperately needed both in a monetary sense and a know-how sense) with a more distant fear being the bureaucratization of the party. either way the excitement and the hope for a future free of want and built on the model of cooperation within a commonwealth is palpable in this book. i found it beautiful and inspiring as well as eminently practical. if you enjoy the personal and individual stories of the revolution this book is for you. something to read along with Ten Days that Shook the World and also for fans of Homage to Catalonia.

[Morgon George]
