An American journalist describes his experiences during a four-year assignment in Russia, and offers his impression of some of the individuals who live under totalitarianism. Kevin Klose (born September 1, 1940) is an American journalist, author, broadcast executive, and academic administrator, who served as president of National Public Radio for almost a decade, overseeing a major growth era for the service. Klose is a graduate of Harvard University, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree, cum laude, in 1962. He has authored five books, including Russia and the Russians: Inside the Closed Society. For 25 years Klose was a reporter and editor at The Washington Post. From 1977 to 1981 he served as Moscow Bureau Chief. Klose served successively as director of U.S. international broadcasting, overseeing the U.S. Government's global radio and television news services (1997-98) and president of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), broadcasting to Central Europe and the former Soviet Union (1994-97). He joined RFE/RL in 1992 as director of Radio Liberty, broadcasting to the former Soviet Union in its national languages. Among his achievements, he relocated RFE/RL from Munich to Prague and helped devise and implement a strategy to refocus the mission of all U.S.-funded international broadcasting and update operations. This book sweeps into the heart of Soviet Russia, to contrast the reality of the totalitarian state with the humanity of individual Russians caight in a system they cannot change. Here is a gallery of heroes and rogues, cynics and drea,ers, partymen and dissidents, described by a veteran journalist who spent four years in Moscow as bureau chief for The Washington Post.
