I have been reading on the internet but would like to get a good book on The rise and fall of the USSR and everything inbetween. Also I would like to have a book specifically on Russian culture what day to day life is like for your average Russian man/woman. Anything you can recommend would be wonderful Thank you

It is a new book and well-recieved. Maybe it focusses more on 'high culture': the arts etc. But this also in relation to Russian society.I think it is interesting for you.
