The authors of this book offer a look at the events of the 1920s through the eyes of people representing various strata of post-revolutionary society—from prominent figures in science and culture to ordinary citizens of the young Soviet state. The reader will witness how twenty-year-old Alexander Fadeyev, a student at the Mining Academy, burns industrial syndicate papers to keep warm; how aspiring composer Dmitri Shostakovich earns extra money as a pianist at a movie theater; how philosopher Nikolai Berdyaev, rejected by the new government, packs his suitcase to leave his homeland forever; and how cultural policy ideologist Anatoly Lunacharsky defends his wife from attacks by the Soviet press. Only through the prism of a personal perspective, through reference to personal documents—diaries, letters, memoirs—is it possible to truly understand the depth of the changes that occurred during this pivotal decade in the country's social structure and in the consciousness and worldview of its people.
