reviewed All the Clean Ones Are Married: And Other Everyday Calamities in Moscow on February 13, 2013 All the Clean Ones Are Married
This is a short, charming, and insightful book outlining an American journalist's time spent living in Moscow in the 1990s. Russian culture is what is mainly discussed, but the political and economic climate is also touched upon - rightly so considering the climate during that time period.
I loved Lori Cidylo's anecdotes, which were very often funny but also very telling about certain aspects of the Russian character and of life in Russia. As someone who has spent some time in Russia in more recent years, I often smiled in agreement when reading about some stranger aspects of Russian culture. What I appreciated most about these acknowledgements about the curious elements of Russian life was that she made an effort to explain why and how they came about. Thus, through reading the book you not only learn how the Russians were during this time, but how they got that way.
This is a fast, but very fun read that I would highly recommend for anyone who is fascinated by the Russians.
