Description
Secondhand Time: The Last of the Soviets is a powerful oral history that brings together dozens of voices to chart the decline of Soviet culture and speculate on the rise from the ashes of Communism.
In this monument to the collapse of the USSR, Svetlana Aleksievich gives voice to women and men whose stories are lost in official narratives, creating an alternative history from personal and private stories of individuals.
Through her distinctive style of oral history, Aleksievich explores a history of emotions - a history of the soul - as she delves into the experiences of those who lived through this pivotal moment in modern history.
