5.0 out of 5 stars So Sad, So True, Jan 27 2002

By	E. Svetova "ekaterina_svetova" (New York) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: A Tomb for Boris Davidovich (Paperback)

Beautifully written, surprisingly nonchalant portrayal of the actual driving force behind the Russian Communist Revolution, namely an international gang of charismatic professional criminals. Makes you think twice before you empathise with all the victims of Stalin's camps indiscriminantly - some of them obviously deserved their terrible fate.
