"This is a good look at Soviet history thru the prism of the end of Soviet history. Remnick was a western journalist in Moscow at the time and did a great job of capturing the personal feel of Russia/the Soviet Union and putting it in its historical context in a very readable way. I read this the year I lived in Russia and particularly enjoyed his observations about things like the first time you fall on the ice and get your "welcome to Russia" bruises. At the time I had just fallen for the first time on the ice and had indeed gotten my "welcome to Russia" bruises. It gave him credibility."
