Alexander Zinoviev was a writer, sociologist, publicist, and one of the most important Russian thinkers of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Coming from a poor peasant family and a war veteran, Alexander Zinoviev was critical of the social and political system in the USSR, and in 1978 he was exiled from the country. He returned to Russia only in 1999, having in recent years changed his view of the Soviet era. He still saw its shortcomings, but also noted many of the features that had made the Soviet civilization among the advanced ones.
In Alexander Zinoviev's book, the Soviet era is shown against the background of the author's own life and that of his family: revolution, collectivization, Stalinism, repression, war, the post-war situation in the country, the following years - and at the same time a profound analysis of Soviet reality. The book is read with unflagging interest from the first to the last page, successfully combining the features of an adventure novel and a scientific treatise.
