Dr Otto Smekal

I found this book and Tv Docummentary as brilliantly blended insight into Russia's past and present from all possible angles. Invaluable and deep analysis based on travelling experience and perfect research.As a born, bred and educated under the Soviety occupation in former Czechoslovakia. Besides, I was forced from age of 10 - 35 years simultaneously be educated and examined in Russian language via whole my education from primary school up to PhD and scientific career, as well. Thus, I really do value Dimbleby's product.To the author needless to say, congratulation brilliantly done.Thank you.Dr Otto Smekal, Cambridge, UK 1954-1991 former Czechoslovakiasince 1991 British resident and subject by choice.
