And the Winds Blew Cold: Stalinist Russia As Experienced by an American Emigrant in Bloomington, MN

The memoirs of a Russian-American Jewish woman, Eva Meltz, who idealistically moved to Moscow in the early 1930s.

The work has been coauthored with her childhood friend, Rae Osgood. Also included are letters from Meltz to Osgood from 1932 to 1968. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
