Jennifer Gould

This is a collection of articles by Jennifer Gould, a Canadian journalist who spent many years in Russia in the 90s. We read about the famed mafia, about the poor, the street children, the insanely rich, Chechen fighters, etc. Not necessarily an accurate description of present-day Russia (things have changed since then!), but a very interesting description of Russia shortly after the collapse of communism. Gould has a great writing style. I couldn't put the book down!
