Breaking Stalin's Nose by Eugene Yelchin

4.0

Well done to Yelchin for giving us a glimpse into Stalin's communistic USSR. It's chilling. It was a machine of indoctrination, propaganda, fear, and control that led to the death of millions and a pattern of thinking that we still cannot shake in our world. Cleverly told through the eyes of a child, this book subtly and not-so-subtly reveals the horror of a terrible worldview. Does it end sadly? Yes. But so does communism. I read this aloud to my 11 year-old and highly recommend others do the same.
