- catalog abstract "After communism in the Soviet Union came chaos. Ordinary Russians, liberated from a controlled and communal society, woke up in 1992 to a life that seemed to have no rules. For some, the new disorder offered possibilities--to get rich, to enjoy the excesses of life without a brutal government intervening. For others, it has been a time to worship or create freely, or to leave the country altogether. For many, however, freedom is like being abandoned without a guidebook. Randolph takes us to hospitals and sex clinics, to old communal apartments and new suburbs, to decrepit schools and new private academies. She interviews ballerinas and priests, murderers and ordinary people fighting a tidal wave of crime. She talks with young men and old women, doctors and conjurers, real estate brokers and newly converted businessmen--all trying to cope in a world where the rules changed virtually overnight.--From publisher description.".
