This study, first published in Moscow is Shcherbak's account of the
Chernobyl disaster of April 1986 based on interviews with many of
the participants. Shcherbak considers the Chernobyl accident to be
the most important event in the USSR since World War II.
Consequently he felt himself impelled to travel to the designated
danger zone around the reactor, to live there and to interview
firemen, first aid workers, party and government officials and
local media representatives. The result is a variety of eyewitness
accounts that are considered to be unprecedented in their detail
and in their frankness.

"What's in a Russian Word" works its way from a presentation of the
sound structure of Russian, through an examination of the spelling
system, the interface between sounds and forms, and the issue of
the Church Slavonic and East Slavonic components of the Russian
language, to an exploration of over sixty word families. The book
should help one to make connections both between Russian words and
those in numerous other European languages and between extensive
groups of Russian words themselves, greatly facilitating learners
at various stages in their acquisition of vocabulary and their
ability to get the gist of texts without the constant and
frustrating need to consult dictionaries, skill in the use of which
none the less remains crucial.
Aiming to provide an all-round and accessible description of the
language, this book gives a presentation of grammar as an
intellectual exercise and lots of drills and exercises which are
intended to be stimulating and interesting. The best of the
language, namely extracts from works of many of its inimitable
writers, is used among much else: Pushkin, Gogol', Dostoevsky,
Tolstoy, Chekhov, Bulgakov, Mandel'shtam, not to forgoet Kharms.
The overriding aim is to set everything in an entertaining, real,
and enlightening historical, cultural and social context - to give
learners what they actually want to know about Russian (but are
usually afriad to admit to). It also sets out to describe
everything in such a way that the dread moment in so many books
when everything becomes incomprehensible simply doesn't happen
here. "Learn Russian" will not teach you how to buy an ice-cream or
ask direction to the Kremlin but it will give anyone the
opportunity to read some of Russia's greatest literature in the
original along with learning something of the historical, cultural
and social context.
