The Whisperers by Orlando Figes
Drawing on letters, memoirs, conversations, this work tells the story of how Russians tried to endure life under Stalin, conveying the reality of their terrible choices. It recreates the sort of maze in which Russians found themselves, where an unwitting wrong turn could either destroy a family or, perversely, later save it.
Orlando Figes is Professor of History at Birkbeck College, University of London. His books include A People’s Tragedy and Natasha’s Dance.
