Review:
Surprisingly lyrical and free of bitterness, her tale belongs to the unfortunately rich and long tradition of Russian prison literature. . . . [The memoirs] provide a rare look into the innermost circle of the Bolshevik Revolution's doomed founding fathers. --Harlan Robinson"
This memoir is sure to endure. Written with the passion of an acolyte and the attention of a witness, it adds a unique angle of vision to what we know of the cruelty and absurdity of the Stalin era. . . . An astonishing account that loses very little for [Anna Larina's] being blindly in love with its hero. "
Stephen Cohen's introduction is a model of its kind, giving not only the political and human background, but also describing his own relations with Larina and the Bukharin family. --Robert Conquest"
Starred Review. Measured, vivid, and strikingly free of malice; her tone throughout is one of absolute self-reliance. Exceptionally moving and strong.

'The Memoirs of Nikolai Bukharin's Widow'. A sensation when published in Moscow and a bestseller in Europe, the memoirs of Anna Larina-the widow of the legendary Bolshevik leader Nikolai Bukharin condemned by Stalin at the infamous Moscow Trial of 1938-open a new window into the drama and secrets of Soviet history. This remarkable woman tells the story of not only of her twenty years in Gulag prison camps and exile, and that of her infant son from whom she separated for so long, but also of her special life as a daughter and wife among the founding fathers of the Soviet Union.
