Summary:
Called upon to care for his ailing grandmother in Russia, "Andrei sublets his room in Brooklyn, packs up his hockey stuff, and moves into the apartment that Stalin himself had given his grandmother, a woman who has outlived her husband and most of her friends ... [He] learns to navigate Putin's Moscow, still the city of his birth, but with more expensive coffee. He looks after his elderly ... grandmother, finds a place to play hockey, a cafe to send emails, and eventually some friends ... When he becomes entangled with a group of leftists, Andrei's politics and his allegiances are tested, and he is forced to come to terms with the Russian society he was born into and the American one he has enjoyed since he was a kid"--Publisher.
