Somewhere in Between Tanya Jones

Russian journalist Tanya Jones (Mekhonoshina previously) at the age of 50 started a new life in England. This is her story, her notes from her life and other things... About the last days of The Soviet Union with its endless queues for food and soap. About poverty and oligarchs that appeared in post-soviet Russia. About reality of life in Moscow and far end provinces. About journalism and reporters. About phenomena of Putin. About American dream and political correctness. About immigrants, issues with translation and mastering the word 'brexit' in Russian language. But it's not all doom and gloom. Some of the stories are funny, thought provoking and full of irony and charm.
