    • The Economist Tags : Zhivago, Pasternak, novel, Russia Posted: Friday , Jul 10, 2009 at 2242 hrs

    The picture Mr Zubok paints so painstakingly is vivid. Yet it is only a tiny corner of the dreary canvas of Soviet life. A few thousand people in Moscow and St Petersburg had a nice and interesting time in the 1950s. But for many millions of their fellow-inmates, the Soviet decades were unrelievedly awful.
