A review by kristine_9
The Foundation Pit by Mirra Ginsburg, Andrei Platonov
4.0
3.5 (I feel like it deserves the 4 though)
For me, 3.5 stars means I thought it was good, really good in this case, but I didn't love it, nor would I recommend it, unless someone's very interested in the main topic/theme. In this case, the Soviet Union and the damage it did to people, to individuality. For a person like that I would highly recommend it.
Sidenote: Nastya, a really young girl who says shit like "liquidate the kulaks" and "now that Stalin's become, I've become too" throughout the entire novel, belongs in a horror movie. Creepy as fuck.
