Polonsky Rachel. Molotov's Magic Lantern. A Journey in Russia
London: FF, 2010.
Качество: изначально электронное.
Живой рассказ-размышление об истории России от старых времен и до настоящего времени. Автор провела довольно много времени в России и ей есть о чем рассказать.
When the British joualist Rachel Polonsky moves to Moscow, she discovers an apartment on Romanov Street that was once home to the Soviet elite. One of the most infamous neighbors was the ruthless apparatchik Vyacheslav Molotov, a henchman for Stalin who was a participant in the collectivizations and the Great Purge—and also an ardent bibliophile. In what was formerly Molotov’s apartment, Polonsky uncovers an extensive library and an old magic lante—two things that lead her on an extraordinary jouey throughout Russia and ultimately renew her vision of the country and its people.
