Babushka and Me: Memories from a Soviet Childhood

Babushka and Me: Memories from a Soviet Childhood

Alexandra Burda
4.3/5 ( ratings)
Babushka and Me is a collection of short stories from my Soviet childhood. I grew up in a country in which bananas were like gold dust; circus was endorsed by the Communist Party as ‘the people’s art form’; sport was practised as a discipline, rather than as a recreational activity. Soviet children learned to read by absorbing stories about ‘Grandpa Lenin’ and joined the ranks of the young ‘pioneers’, who proudly wore their red neckerchiefs to school. Babushka and Me is a journey back in time and a tribute to the unconditional love of my grandmother.
