Kaminer “Russendisko”
Friday, February 22nd, 2008 | Book Reviews | No Comments
The russian author emigrated from Moskow in 1990. Living in the German capital Berlin he writes about trivial situations of his everyday life. In particular he reflects and outlines in a funny way special problems which russian emigrants are confronted with in terms of the new mentality and language.
“Russiandisco” iss a light and amusing book to read! The humourous way to describe russians, who are coming to the West to start a new life and ending up in the Berlin suburb Marzan in an asylum, is very well done and hits the mark!
The russian (jew) community holds together. There are russian “Intelligenzia”clubs, folklore-feasts, restorants and Diskos! The author points out, that customs, mentality and the way of life of russians living in Berlin didn`t change much throghout years. And it`s quite unlikely that a foreigner of the first-generation will integrate into the new society.
