This just in

[Perova Natasha]

To whom it may concern:
If Snowden read the latest Glas books by our young authors he would think twice before seeking asylom here. Writers in their late 20s describe today's Russia as a huge garbage tip controled by gangsters with submissive and sluggish population, and helpless corrupt authorities. I mean, in particular,  "The Little Man" by Liza Alexandrova-Zorina which we'll release at the end of the year. But also Alexander Snegirev's Petroleum Venus, Igor Savelyev's Mission to Mars, Arslan Khasavov's Sense, to name a few.

  Dear All,


  Great discussion!  Please consider also weighing in on this via Eliot Borenstein's post on the Jordan Center's All the Russias blog:

    What other books should be recommended to Snowden?

    Anything by Viktor Suvorov would do.
    Any of Aleksandr Zinvovyev’s pre-1990 work, e.g., Zijajuscie Vysoty, Gomo Sovetikus, Katastrojka, etc.

    For English language works, Stanton Evans “Blacklisted by History”,  and Diana West’s new book “American Betrayal”, would also be good beginnings
