The view from Lenin Hills

A View From Lenin Hills is an eye-opening report on Russian youth today, a vital and resless new generation that openly criticizes Communist leaders and propaganda, and is disenchanted withthe twisting and turning of the Party line. While the youth dares to speak out, much remains the same in Russia, as Mr. Taubman discovered when he was trailed by the secret police and denied access to certain essential research facilities. How he and his young Soviet friends coped with these harassments enlivens this account with humor, as well as with suspense.
