{"product_id":"black-earth-city-when-russia-ran-wild-and-so-did-we","title":"Black Earth City: When Russia Ran Wild (And So Did We)","description":"In September 1991, the Soviet Union is collapsing and people conquer uncertainty, hunger, and negative-twenty degree temperatures by drinking too much vodka and reveling in their new-found sexual freedom. Charlotte Hobson is our irresistible guide to this tumultuous time. We meet Yakov, who blows half-a-million rubles on a taxi to see a girl in Minsk; Lola, who sleeps with her peers for a share of their dinner; Viktor, who struggles to forget his brutal memories of military service; and Mitya, Hobson’s wild and optimistic lover, whose gradual disillusion and dissolution mirror his country’s lurch from euphoria to despair.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0312420617\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: PKV.0312420617.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hobson, Charlotte\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: It's been through some chapters of life!
