A World War II history of the soul - The Boston Globe

'An Oral History of Women in World War IITranslated from the Russian by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky'

'Inspired by the example of Ales Adamovich, the Belarusian poet and professor, she’d begun to turn Soviet history on World War II inside out. '

'Rather than tell history in the voices of men, she would report it in the voices of women. '

'Over 2 million copies sold in the coming years as the Cold War ended and the Soviet Union broke apart. '

'“I am a historian of the soul,” the journalist Svetlana Alexievich wrote in her journal at some point between 1978 and 1985. '
