Researchers use oral history to analyze present-day recoll…
Life Stories of Soviet Women
This book provides a rich picture of what everyday life was like for women in Soviet times by presenting the life stories of eight women who were born in the interwar period. The life stories are told through interviews with the women who were well educated and well placed in Soviet society, often in elite positions, and therefore well able to observe and articulate the wider conditions for Soviet women besides their own personal circumstances. T…
Memoir of a Gulag Actress, by Tamara Petkevich, tr. Yasha Klots and Ross Ufberg
Tamara Petkevich’s memoir was first published in Russia in 1993 under the title Life is an Unpaired Boot and soon became widely read and much admired. With Petkevich’s consent, the book was re-titled and abridged by its translators for the English-language version. Fortunately, Klots and Ufberg have attempted to maintain the nuance and historical significance of the original text. The book now makes a welcome contribution to the growing Western l…
