A social insight into modern Russia from the viewpoint of the people whose lives, hopes and dreams have been so altered in a period of change, written by a British journalist living and working in Moscow.

Experience the impact of historic and unplanned change on a people forced to undergo the most breathtaking ongoing revolution of the 20th century, through the eyes of the people who have lived through it. The generation who have emerged from a Soviet past into a modern future were schooled under Soviet leader Brezhnev, studied at University or started families or careers during Gorbachev's perestroika reforms, and have been confronted by a society changed beyond recognition since the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 and Yeltsin's unpredictable rule.
