In 1991, Marjorie was the first westerner working on human rights with a permanent base. It was particularly important because for years the USSR had considered Amnesty an anti-Soviet organisation - a nest of spies so to speak.</p><p>Marjories role together with her penetrating perceptions and her entertaining style of writing make this a very interesting account which combines insights into the politics of human rights and into the unusually wide range of people Marjorie encountered. Most westerners in Moscow lived a life apart with access to foreign currency shops and good-quality food. Marjorie chose instead to live as an ordinary Muscovite, in one room with a small kitchen, even when, in 1992, the inflation rate in Russia soared to more than 2000.</p><p>The fact that the diary was written 25 years ago doesnt in any way undermine the authors efforts to help Russia become a normal country, nor does it hide the authors true passion for the Russian people. A gem of a book capturing a moment in time by a truly humble, self-sacrificing woman.</p>...4222485Moscow Diary122135https://www.gandhi.com.mx/moscow-diary-9781789010381/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3928907/fc95cdbd-2554-4ac2-a96a-5c01a12e32c0.jpg?v=638386089718400000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20189781789010381_W3siaWQiOiJiNjU0ZWE0Ny0xZDgxLTQ5YTYtODM3Yi1kMWUwMmRhNzZmZjgiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjE0MCwiZGlzY291bnQiOjE0LCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjEyNiwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjQtMTItMDFUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9781789010381_<p><em>Moscow Diary</em> is the diary kept by Marjorie Farquharson during the period in which she established Amnesty Internationals Information Office in Moscow, a unique venture during a fascinating period of change.
