A really lovely article here that describes Nataliya Vasilyeva’s (shown left) memories of being a small child as Communism ended in Russia in 1991. The point here is that in the vastness of Russian History we should never forget that individuals also had their lives changed. Whilst this is no dekulakisation, as Vasilyeva comments, “I could never imagine then that the rules I thought of as unbreakable would dissolve one by one over the next 20 years.”
The article is called “From Lenin to the Bible” – at the moment on the course we are heading the other way.
