This NY Times Best Seller is both literary and historical. It is a sensitive reveal of Soviet/Russian voices and culture from the days of Stalin to Gorbachev. Then in 1991 they were suddenly just Russian. Alexievich tells stories from kitchen tables to machinations of the powerful. The author Svetlana Alexievich won the 2015 Nobel Prize for literature.
