These are my ThrowbackThursday reviews from August 2016.
Alexievich, Svetlana "Second Hand Time. The Last of the Sovjets" (Russian: Время секонд хэнд = Vremja sekond khend) - 2013
The author wrote down her interviews with former citizens of the Soviet Union, people who liked the new system, people who disliked it, people who loved it, people who hated it. She wrote down their life stories and you can understand every single one of them. This is what makes politics so hard, trying to please everyone is not possible, there is always someone who disagrees with a certain decision.
Brownstein, Carrie "Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl" - 2015
I never heard of Carrie Brownstein or Sleater-Kinney in my life. It was a brilliant read. I loved her voice, her capability of bringing over the story.
