This is a must read for anyone wanting to understand and appreciate Soviet Russia and its aftermath as today‘s Russia. David Remnick intertwines Czarist, Soviet (primarily Stalin), and post-Soviet history and impressions in a thorough and fascinating manner. He provides a telling that makes Putin‘s subsequent rise (and current place as Russia‘s modern “Czar”) wholly relatable.

Lily had to have two teeth removed yesterday and she's still a bit tired, but at least I get lots of snuggles today while I read. #catsoflitsy
