Author Offers a Rare Glimpse of Life in Socialist Russia in Nonfiction Book

Simona Pipko’s Baltic Winds: Testimony of a Soviet Attorney, a nonfiction book, tells about her life story as a prominent Soviet defense attorney, her family, friends, and clients. Her book offers a surprising yet enthralling topic of how it is to live in Russia.

The book tells a story directly told from a Russian citizen herself – an authentic story we could only hope to hear and know about. She shows the readers an unexpected picture of Russia in the first part of the book. Unlike what most Western readers would see in cinemas or read in other fiction books, Simona’s book provides first-hand observation about people from different ethnic groups and reveals the terrible conditions they live in, the struggles women encounter in everyday life, their treatment and status as second-class citizens, and not to mention their numerous abortions, domestic violence, and sexual abuse.

As her book goes along, we see how she has grown strong over the struggles and adversities she had been through. She finally was able to travel west to America, where she was able to establish true and heartfelt social connections in her new profession as a teacher.
 
Baltic Winds: Testimony of a Soviet Attorney is an inspiring and eye-opening book for readers of all nationalities. The 2017 Frankfurt Intl Book Fair this coming October 11, 2017, will bring to the shelves this interesting and enlightening book and many other good reads.
