Product Details :
Russia witnessed several revolutions, unrest, and bloody civil wars at the beginning of the twentieth century, resulting in the emergence of the Soviet Union, which formed an image of the great and invincible empire.
Some saw in it the fulfillment of the red socialist dream of building a superpower whose influence extended over almost half the world. While some saw it as one of the harshest forms of oppressive totalitarian rule, with huge detention centers and a difficult economic situation.
In the year 1991, this empire collapsed rapidly after several revolutions, unrest, and bloody civil wars, and the red man woke up to suddenly find himself living in the ruins of an empire collapsing into dozens of conflicting countries, witnessing a massive economic collapse and the end of the great dreams he had lived.
In her book, Svetlana does not search for answers to the big questions that interest the reader of history, but rather for thousands of small details of past daily life by collecting dozens of testimonies from ordinary people who lived this experience and its ups and downs.
Svetlana searches for the small night conversations that disappear with the morning, for the dream of a new future, of another time. However, it is the same time repeated; Used time..

Product Details :
Thousands of wars took place, short and long. We knew the details of some of them, while other details were absent among the bodies of the victims. Many wrote, but men always wrote about men. Everything we knew about war, we knew through “the man’s voice.” We are all prisoners of “men’s” perceptions and feelings about war, prisoners of “men’s” words. As for women, they have always been silent.
In World War II, approximately one million Soviet women participated in fighting on all fronts and in various tasks. Svetlana raises important questions about the role of women in the war: Why did women, who defended their land and took their place in an exclusive male world, not defend their history? Where are their words and where are their feelings? There is a whole hidden world. Their war remained unknown...
In her book, “War Has No Female Face,” Svetlana writes the history of this war. Women's war.
