Comments on "Lost and Found in Russia" - Lives in a Post-Soviet Landscape by Susan Richards

The English lady who is the author of this book seems so fluent in Russian that she never seems to miss anything. Her ability to share her long travels in the new Russia and her Russian friends and acquaintances can hardly be described. This book is Susan Richards' 2nd book of Russian travels, and is a remarkable sequel to it.
The first book, "Epics of Everyday Life," was very much praised and was very tranquil by comparison. It was written just months before the communist Soviet Union began to fall apart, and nobody seemed to be aware of this outcome, including the author.
