review 1: I was very pleased to find out how well this books captures the life in the post-Soviet states. I feel like it's a book all Westerners should read to understand the mentality of modern Russia or even, indirectly, countries like Ukraine, Belarus, or Poland. Being born and having lived in Eastern Europe for many years, I can confirm this account of events is very accurate and fairly un-biased on Richards' part. It's a very well-written summary of how and why Russians think and behave they way they do now. Although some historical knowledge of Russian history is necessary to fully understand what Richards is talking about, she also makes a very good attempt at explaining the socio-political situation to somebody who is all new to the subject. All in all, it's a very good and ... moreinteresting read!
review 2: The three-star rating has such a wide range. This was a high three. The interesting parts were very interesting. The political parts were... political, kind of a snooze, but necessary for understanding these lives. I love reading about real people in other places and countries. Those parts of the book were fascinating to me. The book itself was well written, though sometimes a bit disjointed. It was good, though, if you're interested in the subject. less
