    English author about Russia

    Hello forum!
    I am looking for the name of famous English writer who has written 2 books about the life in Russian province. First one is from Soviet time, second one is written in the 1990's.
    Thank you in advance!
    P.a. of course I can't find the name in the Net

    Is it Figes you're thinking of?

    I made it home Eiseabhal by a circuitous route. It was a good Meeting. I notice this fellow didn't respond. Figes? Isn't he a son of some female writer?

    Yes. Eva Figes. A strident anti-Zionist feminist. Deceased now I think.

    If Eva Figes was a feminist then she probably wrote about MtF transsexuality. If she did not then it was a failure in her career.
