Overnight, a society under the lock and key of ideology and the eye of a secret police was sprung loose, entering into a period that has since come to be known as \"the Thaw.\" Suddenly, citizens like the young Moscow architect, Vladimir Azarov, were free to read banned Russian writers like Solzhenitsyn, to attend concerts by stars like Marlene Dietrich, and free to go not only to Berlin but on to Paris. Azarov has written 26 monologues, each devoted to recollecting sunburst moments of freedom, moments of awareness when millions of people were suddenly coming in from the great cold of Stalin's years of terror.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vladimir Azarov\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1550963988\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781550963984\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Exile Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 4.90w x 0.40d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vladimir Azarov","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485611340031,"sku":"9781550963984","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3a0ebc92-820e-4f7c-9d69-4e895704eee5.jpg?v=1778050372","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/broken-pastries-vladimir-azarov-9781550963984","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
