"You can't make this products up." So says North american copy writer, imperial Russia aficionado, and veteran expatriate, Jennifer Eremeeva, who may have lived going back 20 years in Russia with HRH, her Good looking Russian Hubby (occasionally a.k.a. Unpleasant Russian Hubby) and their growing child. Fortunately for Eremeeva, she didn't need to constitute most of the incidents that encouraged this, her first work of fiction. When she (and her alter-ego heroine, coincidentally known as Jennifer) leave her job to write full time, she became enthralled with the dingy grey building across the courtyard from her apartment, where, it proved, Vladimir Lenin's embalmed corpse was consistently freshened up and preserved. The result is Lenin Lives NEARBY: Marriage, Martinis, and Mayhem in Moscow. Based on Eremeeva's 2 decades in Russia, Lenin Lives Next Door knits together vignettes of cross-cultural and expatriate life with well-defined observation, bright colored historical qualifications, and engaging humor. Each thematic section is an anecdotal exploration of an aspect of life in today's Russia, told by using a recurring ensemble of eccentric Russian and expat characters. Lenin Lives Next Door introduces listeners to Russians in their day-to-day milieu: at their dachas, in three-day traffic jams, and celebrating their 300-plus public and professional getaways with mayonnaise-based salads. Lenin Lives Next Door is an inside check out Russia with a recovering Russophile.
