About this title

Synopsis

In the early days of perestroika, the promise of economic independence attracted many Moscovites. This book traces the fortunes of the privately-owned co-operative newspaper "Fact", from the discussions to distribute an English-language version to its disintegration in a morass of bureaucracy and corruption.
