Publisher Description In 1991, Lori Cidylo shocked her Ukrainian Polish-born parents when she told them she was leaving her reporters job in upstate New York to live and work in the rapidly dissolving Soviet Union. For the next six years she lived on a shoestring budget in Moscow, in tiny, run-down apartments, coping with the daily calamities of life in Russia. Fluent in Russian, she rode public transportation, did her own shopping and cooking, and shared the typical Musovites life-unlike most Westerners who were sequestered in heavily guarded compounds reserved for diplomats and journalists. As the country experienced its most dramatic transformation since the Bolshevik Revolution, she realized she had stepped into a fantastical and absurd adventure.Cidylos wry, insightful account of what it was like for an American woman living in Russia is a dramatic tale full of insouciant laughter, in which vividness and immediacy shine on every page. With the sharp eye of an acute observer, she captures both the momentous events and the everyday trivia: how do Russians address one another now that the familiar "comrade" is pass; or, how do you find your way home in a city where the streets keep getting new names? As Russia even now continues to struggle with the Cold Wars aftermath, Cidylo gives a delightful surprising, warmly human view of post-Soviet life.
