Summary:
"In
1941
, when German armies were marching towards
Moscow
, Lenin'
s
body was moved from his tomb on
Red
Square and taken to Siberia. By 1945, a victorious
Stalin
had turned a poor country into a victorious superpower. Over the course of those four years,
Stalin
, at Churchill'
s
insistence, accepted an Anglo-American press corps in
Moscow
to cover the Eastern Front. To turn these reporters into Kremlin mouthpieces,
Stalin
imposed the most draconian controls--unbending censorship, no visits to the battle front, and a ban on contact with ordinary citizens. The
Red
Hotel
explores this gilded cage of the
Metropol
Hotel
. They enjoyed lavish supplies of caviar and had their choice of young women to employ as translators and share their beds. On the surface, this regime served
Stalin
well: his plans to control Eastern Europe as a Sovietized "outer empire" were never reported and the most outrageous Soviet lies went unchallenged. But beneath the surface the
Metropol
was roiling with intrigue. While some of the translators turned journalists into robotic conveyors of Kremlin
propaganda
, others were secret dissidents who whispered to reporters the reality of Soviet life and were punished with sentences in the Gulag"--From publisher.
