I really loved this dark, historical tale of a post WWII group of people living in an apartment in Moscow in 1946.  Jobs are hard to come by and food is even more scarce.  Eighty-three-year-old Anisya is the center of the group living in the apartment where eight people now live. As she lies awake at night, she listens to the screams coming from other apartments in the building as members of the MGB break their way into people's homes, taking them away into the darkness."Neighbors" is a very engrossing story and one that really pulled me into the lives of the characters and what was happening to them. There is suspense and intrigue and quite a twist at the end.  Like other reviewers, I would like to read more by this author since I enjoyed this story so much.  A highly recommended short story.
