Recenzii
... this is an extremely informative book. It is also highly readable, partly because of its novelistic qualities: the characters of both Raleigh and hisinformants shine through the text. The introduction to each interview includesa lively account of the interviewee's behaviour during the event as well as anarrative of Raleigh's various adventures, such as getting lost on the way, inthe labyrinth of Moscow University, or being jumped on by an unannouncedpet rat. The book is beautifully illustrated with photographs of the informants, for example, at May Day parades, on the beach, or dressed for graduationball. At the very end, hiding beyond the Index, are photographs of Raleighhimself in 1967 and 2005. A valuable feature of the book is its sparing but deftdrawing of parallels between Russians and Americans of the same generation, leading the reader to reflect on how far the book tells a specifically Russianstory or, conversely, one more universal.--Anne White, Department of European Studies and Modern Languages University of Bath"Slavonic and East European Review" (01/01/2008)
