Svetlana Alexievich offers a poignant and deeply moving exploration of life in post-Soviet Russia through the voices of those who lived through its tumultuous changes. Blending journalism with literary artistry, she captures the raw emotions and complex realities faced by ordinary citizens as they navigate a world riddled with nostalgia and uncertainty.
