Mary McAuley is the author of Soviet Politics 1917-1991, Human Rights in Russia: Citizens and the State from Perestroika to Putin and Children in Custody: Anglo-Russian Perspectives.
“Better than a time-machine, McAuley takes readers on an exclusive
guided tour of Leningrad in the 1960s and up to present day St.
Petersburg. In this elegy for a city, the friendships she forged
across fifty plus years lie at the heart of a nuanced, intimate,
and serious portrait of Russians living through tumultuous times.”
—Kathleen E. Smith, Georgetown University
“McAuley provides an engaging introduction to everyday life in
Leningrad/St. Petersburg since World War II.” —Emily Johnson,
University of Oklahoma
