About this title: Through probing interviews with Russian citizens, and through a survey of official archives, media, and memoirs--as well as somewhat untraditional sources such as psychiatric studies--the author attempts to elicit the Russians' views of their violent century. She asks large questions and searches for ways that memory and history relate to one another in the face of death and within a totalitarian state.

"For those who learned from Drew Faust's 'The Republic of Suffering,' here's another staggering volume. While Faust treats the culture of dying and death that developed in the US over the five years of the Civil War, Merridale treats the same dimension of the Soviet experience over 80 years, a period over which at least 50 million persons died of war or mass murder or starvation or disease, rather than a relatively insignificant number such as 600,000."
"A ponderous survey of Russian attitudes on death particularly death caused by human actions which Russia has seen more than its share of in the past century. Adequately written but its real power is the grisly history itself. The cover of the trade paper edition is absolutely beautiful."
"one of my favourite non-fiction books. explores the culture of suffering that pervades the russian people. Filled with interviews, it doesn't drag as much as you think it might."
