In this memoir, replete with Jewish humor and sardonic Russian irony, exiled Russian journalist and human rights advocate Arkady Polishchuk (b. 1930) colorfully narrates his evolution as a dissenter and his work on behalf of persecuted Christians in 1970s Soviet Russia.

Told primarily through dialog, this thrilling account puts the reader in the middle of a critical time in history, when thousands of people who had been denied emigration drew international attention while suffering human rights abuses, staged show trials, forced labor, and constant surveillance.

From 1950-1973, Polishchuk worked as a journalist for Russian state-run media and at Asia and Africa Today, where all of the foreign correspondents were KGB operatives using their cover jobs to meddle in international affairs. His close understanding of Russian propaganda, the use of "kompromat" against enemies and his knowledge of "pripiski" (defined as "positive distortions of achieved results and fake reports") makes this memoir especially eye-opening for American readers in today's political climate.

Through the course of the narrative, we are along with Polishchuk as he covers an anti-Semitic show trial, writes samizdat (underground political self-publications), is arrested, followed and surveilled, collaborates with refuseniks and smuggles eyewitness testimony to the west. The absurdity of his experiences is reflected in his humor, which belies the anxieties of the life he lived.

Almost tastes like chocolate milk!
Flavor Name: Chocolate, Size: 11.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
I usually dislike protein drinks. But I need It, and this one actually almost tastes like chocolate milk. I’ve tried the other flavors of this brand, and for me, this is the least protein tasting one. Banana came close.

The Gold Standard: Premier Protein Chocolate Shake
Flavor Name: Chocolate, Size: 11.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
The Premier Protein Chocolate Shake is, in my opinion, the benchmark for ready-to-drink protein shakes. Whether you're a serious athlete, a busy professional, or someone trying to hit daily protein goals, this shake delivers on taste, convenience, and macros. Taste & Texture (Surprisingly Good) Let's be honest: most shelf-stable protein shakes taste like chalky chemicals. This is where Premier Protein shines. The Chocolate flavor is rich, creamy, and surprisingly satisfying without being overly sweet. It tastes like a genuine, albeit light, chocolate milk. Crucially, the texture is smooth and velvety; there is virtually no grittiness or unpleasant artificial aftertaste. I genuinely look forward to drinking these, which is half the battle with supplements. They are best enjoyed ice-cold! Unbeatable Nutritional Profile The macros are what make this shake truly exceptional: 30g of High-Quality Protein: Perfect for post-workout recovery, satisfying hunger between meals, or boosting the protein content of coffee/recipes. 1g Sugar & 5g Carbs: This low-carb, low-sugar profile makes it ideal for nearly any diet, including keto and low-glycemic plans. 160 Calories: A great way to add significant protein without excessive calories. Verdict & Best Uses I always keep a case of these shakes stocked. They are a true time-saver for fast breakfast additions, quick muscle fuel after the gym, or a guilt-free late-night snack. If you are struggling to find a convenient, affordable, and high-protein option that actually tastes good, look no further. This product is a staple.

Good protein option with good taste
Flavor Name: Chocolate, Size: 11.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
These shakes are delicious. There are a few things about them I love. First, they are gluten-free. Next, they are low in sugar. They are also low in calories, and are very tasty. They do not leave an aftertaste like a lot of protein shakes. I do find you need to really shake them well to get a good consistency. They are not clumpy, but sometimes have strands that give them a weird texture. However, this does not happen if you shake them really well. I like to blend mine with fruit, and never have this problem when I do that. They are also really convenient because you can grab them and go. The serving size is perfect too. I would recommend these if you are looking for a low sugar, protein drink.
