Description
One of the most vivid and truthful accounts of the rise and collapse of the Soviet empire. A unique look at a complex and controversial era through the eyes of an ordinary resident, not a historian-scientist.
In 1941, the Germans entered Odessa. Seven-year-old Mikhail Brodsky and his mother watched a military column marching from the Sabaneyev Bridge to Gogol Street right down the middle of the road. That was how childhood ended. Soon, during an interrogation, a Nazi officer will threaten the child with a pistol and convince him to admit that he is Jewish — and then they would be moved to a “good place where they won’t bomb.”
After that will come the harsh years of occupation, the long-awaited victory, a Soviet school, a new family, a communal apartment, the Moscow artistic circle, a trip to Riga, a multicolored ballpoint pen as the limit of dreams, university, first love, Stalin’s death, Beria’s arrest, work at a factory, a vacation in Gursuf, friendship with the artistic bohemia, constant business trips and moving around the entire country, the Thaw, the 22nd Congress of the CPSU, the first human flight into space, the era of Brezhnev’s stagnation, Perestroika — and, finally, the fall of the Soviet Union and the beginning of a completely different life.
An amazing book of memoirs that will outshine any fictional novel.
