W. Shabłowski, "Dancing Bears: People Struggling with Regime Change after the Cold War" - Freedom came suddenly to the people of the former communist bloc. Is freedom a burden?
This book is about the "dancing bears" of former communist Bulgaria and looks at the lives of people living in the former communist bloc.
This book is also amazing..!
There are plenty of books on Russia, but books on the former communist bloc and its aftermath are quite rare to begin with.
Moreover, the "bear dance" that has been handed down in the region is an exquisite symbol of the very drama of the transition from the former communist bloc to "freedom.
It is a shocking work that also questions our own identity through "The Dancing Bear." This is a masterpiece. I highly recommend it.
