Want to learn about Russia's "colonies"? Or how the Soviet mafia was born? Or the start of Avant-Garde Art under the communists? The book reveals these and other less-known stories about the history and life in the USSR. The Union or better to say the communist empire, was founded 100 years ago on December 30, 1922, and survived a long 70 years.
The author managed to escape this "communist paradise" and shares with you long-kept secrets about her years in the Soviet Union. The book contains 15 stories that include well-researched historical facts about the lives of different people during key times in the USSR, at the time the biggest country that has ever existed. Some territories may come as a surprise, like "Jewish Soviet California" or "Jewish Soviet Palestine". Other places may be better known to the wider public, but the author reveals astonishing facts and simply explains complicated issues. Written sometimes with humour, sometimes with tears in her eyes, the author's stories are full of unexpected information and easy to read for both youngsters and adults.
The book also includes 31 recipes of authentic, disappearing dishes from each of the USSR's republics. Some of them are really tasty! But all are made from basic and cheap ingredients and can be quickly prepared for all occasions, whether everyday eating, parties, or cosy gatherings. With this book, you can enjoy both exciting, informative stories and good, unusual cuisine.
