A witty book filled with political stories from the Ukraine during the USSR reign. There is dark humour, just plain darkness as well as some hopeful moments sprinkled in between.
I found myself enjoying the first half a lot but sadly the second one somehow lost the momentum in my opinion. Still a great book to get glimpses into a country during and right after being part of an all consuming regime.
