Some Russian related books I have read recently in The Archive

Accounts of The Russian Front - from a Western perspective. Interesting as historical documents.
Actually very well written, emotionnal and fascinating.

Theatre - charming, of it's time - but also complex and astute.

I think such a style influences even today,
Studio Gibli and such.

Mononoke, Nausicaa. Especially the town, the people -
