Description

“When I was not quite fifteen years old, my father—an ardent supporter of the USSR, a communist in convictions, though not a party member—ended up on the blacklists and lost his source of income. The Soviet government offered him a job at the Berlin branch of Sovexportfilm; we moved to East Germany—that is, to the very country I absolutely didn’t want to go to,”—this is how Vladimir Pozner begins his book about Germany. It is the result of the author’s long reflections on the country, on the people he met, on the past and the present, and on what connects and divides Germany and Russia at this moment.
