an enclopedia, but a difficult to read biography book

Revisado: 04-30-25

i guess in a similar fashion this book surfs around the subject until you are tired of it. at some point i am tired of hearing about the village krushev is from.

a little too broad and detailed

Revisado: 12-26-24

Im sure this is a wonderful research but i was expecting a book on Stalin, rather found a book that can be titled Entire History of Communism, Bolsheviks, Mensheviks and its leaders and Stalin.

Too many numbers to little time

Revisado: 08-15-23

If you have a fetish for numbers this is amazing however as an audiobook these numbers sound like looking at a balance sheet of a company, useful but boring. A simple summary, analogy from the numbers would have been sufficient, and there are such summaries within the book, however they are seldom and so easy to miss.

Beautiful but a bit odd

Revisado: 11-24-21

This is a beautiful book but unfortunately the audiobook partly misses the rhythm and fails to capture the theme and time changes with the narration. The book jumps from small personal stories into historial events and these changes and jumps in theme are difficult to capture with authors voice. I wish they had hired a professional to voice the book. It references important works such as of Erich Fromm and Karl Popper and places them into Russia of today, its an amazing analysis of Russia.

Very poor sound

Revisado: 11-12-21

Taken from a conference of sorts, the volume level is too low to hear. The content must be nice, but cannot hear anything.

Amazing book and fantastic narration

Revisado: 10-29-21

enjoyed the flow of this book very much. It is beautifully prepared. The narration is the best among Russian books i listened. But one thing: There is a nice summary at the last chapter. Chapter 54 and i think it might be a nice introduction into Russian history if listened first.

Nice but overexcited narration

Revisado: 09-30-21

The story is lovely but the narration is too fast, too loud and too much in a puzzling british accent at times to understand. Its simply too excited to focus on the story. I find myself wondering why certain people in the story speak with different british accents. This rushed narration combined with the accents makes it impossible to focus or even understand.

some depth and some historical narration

Revisado: 09-21-21

The book started with a nice trip across continents to Russia find mysteries of a family and mysteries of a history in USSR, its intriguing. However the second chapter suddenly dives into "History of Jews in Lithuania" which seems to be a completely different subject for a completely different book. Then the subject is all around the place all the way at some pooint to some kids (relatives of author) dressing as american indians, for no absolute reason. Its hard to focus what is happening for what purpose and clearly has no connection to Soviet union.
