"An Engaging Account of life in today's turbulent Russia, this book
faithfully presents the richly contradictory views of Muscovites
and rural Russians on their work, their families and communities,
their government, and their daily lives. Lois Fisher skillfully
interweaves anecdote, conversation, and observation to round out
the picture of a society in turmoil. Not surprisingly, much of the
discussion focuses on the currently most pressing social issues-the
economy and economic policy, education, crime, and social welfare.
Other highlights include profiles of Kuzbass miners and their
families and of former Red Army soldiers waiting in Germany for
demobilization. Written by a veteran foreign correspondent in a
lively style, this book will have special appeal for students and
general readers. The original edition, published in autumn 1991 by
Hoffmann und Campe Verlag as Aoeberleben in RuI(2)land, ranked for
many weeks as a top nonfiction best-seller. This English edition
includes additions and updates on the lives of many of the
individuals first encountered in the original edition."
