In 1973, aged 25, the KGB told Alexander Boot to go West or be sent East to Siberia. Alexander packed his bags for a new life in the West: first Italy, then the USA and finally the UK. Here Alexander tells through vivid anecdotes the story of his life in the Soviet Union as a young non-person, someone who would not conform to the warped principles of Soviet socialism

Softcover. Etat : Fine. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen; Leichte Gebrauchsspuren; Leichte Verformung / umgeknickte Seiten; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveränderung. Alexander Boot was born and grew up in the Soviet Union. Unable to conform to the warped requirements of Soviet socialism he became 'ne-nash'. a non-person. At the age of 25 the KGB came to visit, telling him to leave the country or face exile to Siberia. In this book Alexander describes by means of vivid anecdotes what is was like to grow up in Moscow under the Communists.The picture of poverty, oppression, violence, drunkeness, promiscuity, corruption and hopelessness he paints of Soviet life is as nasty and brutish as anything described by Dickens or drawn by Hogarth.
