Motherland - Julia Ioffe

In 1990, seven-year-old Julia Ioffe and her family fled the Soviet Union. Nearly twenty years later, Ioffe returned to Moscow - only to discover just how much Russian society had changed while she had been living in America. Part memoir, part journalistic exploration, part history, Motherland paints a portrait of modern Russia through the women who shaped it. With deep emotion, Ioffe shows what it means to live through the cataclysms of revolution, war, idealism, and heartbreak - and reveals how the story of Russia today is inextricably tied to the history of its women.
