On Romeo and Juliet.In Second-Hand Time, Alexievich chronicles the demise of communism.

Ten Stories In The Absence of an Interior.Snatches of street noise and kitchen conversations (2002-2012).On the little red flag and the smile of the axe.On a time when anyone who kills believes that they are serving God.On the sweetness of suffering and the trick of the Russian soul.On the cruelty of the flames and salvation from above.On a different Bible and a different kind of believer.On the mercy of memories and the lust for meaning.

On the lonely red marshal and three days of forgotten revolution.

On cries and whispers.and exhilaration.

On brothers and sisters, victims and executioners.and the electorate.

On the beauty of dictatorship and the mystery of butterflies in cement.

Snatches of street noise and kitchen conversations (1991-2001).
