Publisher's Synopsis
In 1987 "Ogonyok" became the first magazine in Russia to publish a regular "letters to the editor" column, and epistles flooded in from politicians and the homeless, farm-workers and scholars, soldiers and pensioners. Here voices of the entire country speak and we discover the way the Soviet people really feel about their fate, about perestroika and their economy, about their food shortages, about religious freedom, about Lithuania and Estonia and about their daily lives. Christopher Cerf has also written "Free To Be A Family" and Marina Albee is co-founder and president of Belka International, specializing in American/Soviet co-ventures. The introduction is by the editor of "Ogonyok".
