How can hope exist when the past is so easily forgotten?
Pasha Ivanov is a child of the Freeze, born in Moscow during Brezhnev's repressive rule over the Soviet Union. As a small child, Pasha sat at the kitchen table night after night as his parents and their friends gathered to preserve the memory of terrifying Stalinist violence, and to expose the continued harassment of dissidents.

Wishlist tag game. enjoy !
thankyou so much for sending me this wishlist title :)
now reading the blurb i wonder how/why it put it on my wishlist (i've given up, for instance, on reading anything set during the world wars) - likely from one of those best of the year recommendations lists
so this is russia in the 1960s - i lived 'next door' at that time, not that i'd be 'conscious' of the goings in russia then...
now that i check this actually won the australian/vogel literary award for debut novelist for 2016
thanks again
