Praise for Anne Applebaum and
Between East and West
Achieves both specificity and readability.
The New York Times
Ms. Applebaum offers us windows into the lives of the men and sometimes women who constructed the police states of Eastern Europe. She gives us a glimpse of those who resisted. But she also gives us a harrowing portrait of the restthe majority of Eastern Europes population, who, having been caught up in the continents conflicts time and time again, now found themselves pawns in a global one.
The Wall Street Journal
Applebaum wants to give flesh to a concept.
The New Yorker
She is a terrific writer, rare among regional experts.Applebaum possesses an overarching vision of what occurred in Eastern Europe.
The Christian Science Monitor
Her researches have led her radically to reappraise some of the most basic historical assumptions made in the West.
London Evening Standard
Applebaum [has the] ability to take a dense and complex subject, replete with communist acronyms and impenetrable jargon, and make it not only informative but enjoyableand even occasionally witty.
The Telegraph (London)

Between East and West was first published in 1994, and very soon after that it began to seem out of date. The book describes a journey I made from Kaliningrad to Odessa from the Baltic to the Black Sea, across the borderlands of Europe in the autumn of 1991, with a few scenes added from other trips in 1992. Almost immediately afterward, all of the places that I had visited plunged into an era of convulsive change. All of the people that I had met would have been profoundly affected.
The republics of Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, and Moldova, still part of the Soviet Union when I first visited, all became independent states. Longstanding institutions the Communist Party, the collective farms vanished or transformed themselves beyond recognition. New politicians replaced the old, and were themselves replaced in turn. More importantly, the strange state of suspended animation which I discovered in the early 1990s the sense that the Soviet empire had ended, but nothing else had yet replaced it was rudely overturned by the arrival of global culture, bitter political struggle, and revolutionary economic tumult. The meandering discussions of history and identity that seemed so important in 1991 or 1992 also began to feel irrelevant as the new states in the region took very different paths.
And yet if my descriptions of Lviv or Uzhgorod werent of much use to the analysts trying to understand the region five years later, twenty years later they have another kind of significance, not as journalism but as history. I myself have belatedly realized that to read
