The Whisperers: Private Life in Stalin's Russia
By
Orlando Figes
Orlando Figes moving and powerful new book illuminates as never before the hidden histories of the ordinary people who lived under Stalins tyranny. It reveals a society where everyone spoke in whispers: whether to protect themselves, their families or friends - or to betray them.
How could Russian citizens preserve their personal identity when the state controlled every aspect of their existence? Was any private life possible when every conversation could be overheard through the walls of cramped communal apartments - and at any moment you could be branded an enemy of the people'?
