The Whisperers by Orlando Figes PDF Free

The arrests, trials, enslavement, and gulags of Stalin’s dictatorship are well-known. But no previous book has looked at the regime’s effect on private lives–the devastation of families and the spread of suspicion throughout every village, neighborhood, and home in Russia. Drawing on a huge collection of family archives and thousands of interviews, The Whisperers is an authoritative, intimate history of a society in which everyone spoke in whispers–either to protect those close to them, or to inform on them.
