Review # 1 was written on 2012-08-08 00:00:00 Adam Pinto Well organized and constructed. Thoughtful preface and chapter intros. Actually quite enjoyed this "textbook"

Review # 2 was written on 2013-01-08 00:00:00 Steve Howden I like the idea of an oral history of the "Sputnik Generation," more or less Russia's baby boomers, and the eight interviews here open the door. Definitely interested in reading about the changes in Soviet living conditions, the access to pop culture, and the subjects' reflections on politics, education, and ideology. The problem is the narrow focus--probably the result of no other options available--with all of the subjects from the same class at the same school. Beyond that, it reads like an unstructured transcription locked into a fairly tight format that makes things tough read. Don't know whether it's realistic to expect an English language expansion, but if there is one, I'll read it.
