Description: "Russia had fascinated outsiders for centuries, and according to Alicia Chudo, it is high time this borscht stopped. In And Quiet Flows the Vodka, Chudo takes no prisoners as she examines Russia's great tradition of unreadable writers, revolutionaries who can't hit the broadside of a tsar, and Soviets who like their vodka but love their tractors."--BOOK JACKET.
