Publisher's Synopsis
""Among The Red Autocrats: My Experience In The Service Of The Soviets"" is a memoir written by George Solomon, who served as a translator and interpreter for the Soviet Union during the Stalinist era. The book provides a unique perspective on the inner workings of the Soviet government and its leaders, as well as the daily life of ordinary citizens during this tumultuous period in history. Solomon recounts his experiences working closely with top Soviet officials, including Stalin himself, and offers insights into their personalities, motivations, and decision-making processes. He also describes the challenges he faced as a foreigner living in a closed society, and the moral dilemmas he encountered as he witnessed the brutal repression of dissent and the persecution of innocent people. Through his personal anecdotes and observations, Solomon sheds light on the complex and often contradictory nature of Soviet society, and offers a compelling glimpse into a world that has long since vanished.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
