Like a lot of teenage girls, Nina kept a diary. Mostly, Nina wrote about typical teenage issues-her looks, romance, school. But amid these standard entries, Nina expressed her hatred of Stalin's regime: "Those bloody Bolsheviks, how I hate them! All hypocrites, liars, and scoundrels. . . ." It was these "counterrevolutionary" passages that got Nina (and the rest of her family) arrested and exiled to a Siberian gulag. Includes letters from Nina's father, photographs, bibliography, and suggestions for further reading.
