An literary masterpiece

Whatever lack substance there may be as the USSR had not yet collapsed resulting in lack of material in footnotes thanks to the author not having access to archives ,the prose of the author is engrossing enough to demand a read.

Phenomenal reading and insights! Thank you

Loved the reading and references to personal correspondences …very much looking forward to the next volume
