Review Quotes:
"This fascinating volume of essays reminds me of Victor Zaslavsky himself: smart, sophisticated, engaging, and provocative. The authors also reflect Zaslavsky's own world, which included the very best in Russian, European, and American scholarship in a variety of disciplines. These articles on the Soviet past, totalitarianism, and the transition to the post-Soviet world contain fresh insights into this history, and at the same time provide warnings about the present and the future."
