"Yes. Another book on Russia. It's brilliant. So informative. Russia is such a dangerous place for a journalist (case in point - Anna Politskovskaya) and so the fact that this guy is talking to OC guys and Chechens, etc. just blows my mind."
"Equally expressing what a place is and who the people there are, as individuals, while giving a balanced historical perspective is a tough job. Meier is able to be authentic in criticizing what's happening and in his warmth towards the everyday Russians about whom he writes. His epic journalism doesn't shirk the details -- this is exactly how one needs to talk about the post-Soviet sphere (I think)."
