Reading through a very interesting part mostly excerpts from woman talking about love and struggle. The USSR was such a large and diverse country there is no way to assume what any one individual thought. There is definitely plenty within these interviews to grasp the struggles of humanity throughout the time under communism and after the fall.

I had better give an update to track status on this one - it's not a quick read.
'Russians need something to believe in. Lofty and luminous. Empire and communism are ingrained in us. We seek out heroic ideals.'
'For one hundred years we castigated capitalism... now we're proud that we are going to be like everyone else. But if we become like everyone else who will care about us anymore?'
