Grey Is the Color of Hope

Grey Is the Color of Hope Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Review:

"By their enemies shall ye know them, and when the Soviet government branded the poet Irina Ratushinskaya a dangerous state criminal it demonstrated its complete moral bankruptcy. This was the Russia of Andropov, the man Western journalists and some political commentators called a liberal. Not only was it savagely brutal, it was also about as stupid as governments come. By making a martyr out of this supremely talented woman, by giving her Gulag memoir the vast audience her poems would probably never have commanded despite her genius, Andropov's Russia in the end did the cause of freedom and hope a great favor. A brilliant book." Reviewed by Daniel Weiss, Virginia Quarterly Review (Copyright 2006 Virginia Quarterly Review)
