Once Upon a Time There Was a Girl: A Tale of a Childhood Spent in the USSR

This book is a warm, sincere novella about people whose lives began in the year when an Olympic teddy bear died—and who grew up during a time when life seemed simple and endless. It offers a surprising perspective on nostalgia and kindness from those raised in a country that no longer exists. The book is complemented with comments and illustrations to help readers immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the 80s and the early 90s.
