xiv, 176 p.; 23 cm.

Summary

Whether relating his experience of standing in bread lines in Kazan, a city once closed to Westerners, attending a Tatar wedding in a remote village, or delivering lectures to students and professors enthralled by the glitter of Western consumer culture, Hixson balances his respect for the people of the USSR with outrage at their appalling circumstances.
