Glorious People

\'A fascinating account of the collapse of the Soviet Union\' MARIE CLAIRE\'Masterful and haunting\' ELENA GOROKHOVAFor Lena, childhood summers meant training to be a good socialist at Pioneer camp, singing songs in praise of Lenin. But when perestroika shatters her world, all must be unlearned. Lena\'s corner of the USSR is suddenly Ukraine: there is a McDonalds in Moscow\'s Red Square and certified foreign whisky, but no food in the shops.For her friend Tatyana, survival in her changing homeland requires new skills: bullet dodging, business sense and a knack for bribery and corruption. When both women head West in search of new beginnings, their homesickness for a vanished land is inherited by their rebellious daughters, caught between forging their own identities and untangling the rich histories of the mothers who raised them.
