WAKING THE TEMPESTS: Ordinary Life in the New Russia 1st edition Randolph

For two years, Eleanor Randolph, a former Moscow correspondent for the Washington Post, and now a reporter for The Los Angeles Times, traveled across Russia talking to ordinary people--psychics, priests, ecologists, sexologists, mail-order brides, gay activists, pensioners, prosecutors, women entrepreneurs, and pre-school teachers--about life after the introduction of economic shock therapy by President Boris Yeltsin. Her observations are sobering, and if there is a cultural theme running through this largely bleak picture of the new Russia, it is that of the age-old Russian conflict between order and freedom being waged at almost every level. "Freedom is wonderful," an elderly and impoverished couple explained to Randolph, "but you can't eat words."
