Autumn 1993. The former USSR. Viv is about to turn 21 and is on a study year abroad, supposedly immersed in the language, history and politics of a world that has just ceased to exist: the Soviet Union.

Instead, she finds herself immersed in Bogdan Bogdanovich - the lead guitarist of a Ukrainian punk rock band. As the temperature drops, he promises that if she can get through the freezing Russian winter, he will give her 'one Ukrainian summer'. But is he serious about her? Or is she just another groupie?At parties, gigs and dive bars, Viv and her new friends argue over whose turn it is to buy cigarettes, the best places to find Levi's jeans and whether beer counts as a soft drink.

No-one debates the merits of speaking Ukrainian over Russian, the precise location of the border or the undeniable brightness of the future. Of course good times are here to stay. Because the Soviet Union is finished.

High quality beautiful cashmere scarf
Color: Gray, Color: Gray
I rarely leave Amazon reviews but the quality of this product compelled me. Fantastic quality, perfect size and length, very soft, and professionally wrapped in a nice box with tissue paper and branded sticker. I’ll be keeping this one but I’ll certainly order more as gifts - this is an excellent holiday gift!
