Fascinating

David Remnick has a wonderful talent of mixing simple and ordinary details to historic events that makes everything so captivatingly vivid.
Michael Prichard is a wonderful narrator. I actually listened to several parts over because I just wanted to hear it again.

The fact that Russia hasn’t changed

They still have a caste system and run by authoritarian. Disgusting county that treats its own people like zeros.
