This book is one which describes how life in the Soviet Union really was. The citizens spend all of their spare time and energy trying to work around their opressive government through deals in the black market and through building personal relationships and relying on "pull". The vast difference between the lifestyles of Communist Party members and common citizens is clearly depicted.
