'A fresh, unexpected, and revealing portrait of Russia' ANNE APPLEBAUM, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Gulag and Red Famine

'A century of Russian history told through the women who lived it, shaped it, and survived it' NADYA TOLOKONNIKOVA, founder of Pussy Riot

Award-winning journalist Julia Ioffe tells the story of modern Russia through the history of its women, from revolution to utopia to autocracy.

In 1990, seven-year-old Julia Ioffe and her family fled the Soviet Union. Nearly twenty years later, Ioffe returned to Moscow—only to discover just how much Russian society had changed while she had been living in America. The Soviet women she had known growing up—doctors, engineers, scientists—had seemingly been replaced with women desperate to marry rich and become stay-at-home moms. How had Russia gone from portraying itself as the vanguard of world feminism to the last bastion of conservative Christian values?

In Motherland, Ioffe turns modern Russian history on its head, telling it exclusively through the stories of its women. From her own physician great-grandmothers to Lenin’s lover, a feminist revolutionary; from the hundreds of thousands of Soviet girls who fought in World War II to the millions of single mothers who rebuilt and repopulated a devastated country; from the members of Pussy Riot to Yulia Navalnaya, wife of opposition leader Alexei Navalny, she chronicles one of the most audacious social experiments in history and how it failed the very women it was meant to liberate—and documents how that failure paved the way to the revanche of Vladimir Putin.

Part memoir, part journalistic exploration, part history, Motherland paints a portrait of modern Russia through the women who shaped it. With deep emotion, Ioffe shows what it means to live through the cataclysms of revolution, war, idealism, and heartbreak—and reveals how the story of Russia today is inextricably tied to the history of its women.

Great Protective Case for My Mother’s iPad
Color: 2-Watermelon Red, Color: 2-Watermelon Red
I bought this case along with my mother’s new iPad, and it was the perfect choice. The watermelon red color looks beautiful with the pink iPad and gives it a very clean and stylish look. The case feels sturdy without adding too much weight, which makes it comfortable for her to carry around and use every day. The stand feature works really well for watching videos, reading, and video calls. I also like that the case supports the auto wake and sleep function, which makes the iPad feel even more convenient and easy to use. The cutouts fit perfectly, and Touch ID still works without any issues. The translucent back is a nice touch because it still lets the iPad color show through while keeping it protected from scratches and bumps. Overall, this case exceeded expectations and makes a great addition for anyone wanting both protection and style for their iPad.

Color: 1-Navy Blue
I really like this iPad case. It’s super lightweight but still feels protective, and the clear back gives it a clean, modern look. It snapped on easily and fits perfectly, with all the buttons and Touch ID working just like they should. Overall, it’s a great everyday case that looks good and does exactly what you need it to do.

Fantastic purchase
Size: X-Large, Color: Peacockblue
Bought two sets of the large and extra large backpacks in peacock blue for two traveling for an 8 day island vacation out of the country. No problems with size with American Airlines. The storage capacity was fantastic with room to spare for selected purchases to bring back. Color and fabric beautiful. Padded handle and straps comfortable. Well made with functional, easy to access compartments. Combined purchase with vacuum bags which I'm surprised helped greatly, as well as Gorpuire small foldable hand truck dolly which made transport super easy and when folded, easily fit into the front of the Xtra large bag. Unbelieveable value for the price point on all items. Wish I had taken pictures. LOVE this purchase and may not have to check bags in the future. More stars if I could!

Perfect travel bag
Size: Large, Color: Black
I ordered this for work travel and have used it for several months now. It is the perfect bag. The shoulder straps are comfortable. It can fit a lot of clothing and books and my laptop. My only suggestion is that it has the laptop sleeve on the front which makes it tip forward / front heavy. It would be better placed at the back. I have TSA precheck so I don't have to take my laptop out, so I pack it inside at the back rather than using the laptop sleeve at the front. But other than that, the price is great. The color options are great and the size is perfect. It slides nicely over my roller suitcase handle and I've never had an issue on an airplane with fit.
