Reviews

[James Christensen · Rating 4 out of 5]

A continuation of his "Memoirs" - deals with his post exile period, perestroika, and his role in the first Soviet Congress of People's Deputies. Interesting insight into the difficulties in converting a totalitarian/socialist mindset to democracy and a free market society.
