Editorial Reviews

"Much is said here that is admirable, thought-provoking, even poignant. . . . A complex portrait of a group of unusual people."

Washington Post Book World

"A sharp challenge to both those who think that nothing has changed in the Soviet Union and to those who think that everything has."

New York Times Book Review

"Voices of Glasnost will be referred to for years to come as a guide to the zesty personalities of the latest Russian revolution."

Newsweek

"Stands above the heap of recent Gorbyiana. . . . Contains a spectacularly lucid introduction by Stephen Cohen. . . . The 14 interviews themselves are of permanent interest."

St. Louis Post-Dispatch
