Exit Stalin Quotes

“No betrayal was more acute than Molotov’s for his beloved wife Polina Zhemchuzhina, a Jew who was arrested in 1948 and did not return from the camps until 1953. Molotov remained in the Politburo, as if revolutionary was a higher calling than husband.”
― Mark B. Smith, Exit Stalin: The Soviet Union as a Civilization, 1953-1991
