About the book: year / "Diary of a New Russian" by St. Petersburg writer Elena Kolina is, perhaps, the first women's novel in Russian, where there is more laughter than tears, and there is more optimism than bitterness. We warn you that it is not recommended to read it in public places: hilarious scenes from the life of friends and relatives of the anonymous heroine, descriptions of her love affairs and our whole strange life will make you laugh so loudly that it may disturb those around you!
