Summary
A sensation when published in Moscow and a bestseller in Europe, the memoirs of this remarkable woman-the widow of the charismatic Bolshevik leader Nikolai I. Bukharin-offer a new dimension to our understanding of Soviet history. Larina tells the story not only of her twenty years in the Gulag but of her life as a daughter and a wife among the founding fathers of the Soviet Union.
