In Secondhand Time, Alexievich chronicles the demise of communism. Everyday Russian citizens recount the past thirty years, showing us what life was like during the fall of the Soviet Union and what it’s like to live in the new Russia left in its wake. Through interviews spanning 1991 to 2012, Alexievich takes us behind the propaganda and contrived media accounts, giving us a panoramic portrait of contemporary Russia and Russians who still carry memories of oppression, terror, famine, massacres—but also of pride in their country, hope for the future, and a belief that everyone was working and fighting together to bring about a utopia. Here is an account of life in the aftermath of an idea so powerful it once dominated a third of the world.
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The magnum opus and latest work from Svetlana Alexievich, the 2015 winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature—a symphonic oral history about the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the emergence of a new Russia

Really? Did you just copy and paste the information from my upload of this. I mean, not that it matters, but really? I just reseeded it. You dual listed the author as if you copied how it reads on here into the title slot, you used the same unique keywords which kept my uploads separate and well organized, and you used the same hard to find image URL as mine. Yours is even in the same format, albeit not of the same size. Oh well, I’m exhausted by this site, so I respectfully quit.
