Description
Secondhand Time: The Last of the Soviets
A symphonic oral history of the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the emergence of a new Russia, as recorded by Nobel Prize-winning author Svetlana Alexievich.
Through extended individual monologues and a collage of voices, Alexievich chronicles the demise of communism, revealing the stories of ordinary citizens who are rarely given the opportunity to speak. Their experiences, spanning 1991 to 2012, offer a panoramic portrait of contemporary Russia and its people, who still carry memories of oppression, terror, and the hope for a better future.
