What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Marietta Shaginyan’s Yankees in Petrograd is a time capsule—a rollicking, mixed-genre, socialist antidote to Ayn Rand. It’s great to have it in this new edition.”

“A novel of our time, in which major events succeed each other with purely cinematographic speed … In Jim Dollar’s novel we see nothing but action.”
—Nikolai Meshcheryakov, “Foreword to the First Edition” (1924)
