Night of the New Russian

The third story in a series by David Brining exploring life in post-Communist Russia, Sergey Priapin, a wealthy media mogul and possible Parliamentary candidate, is beginning to hate his high-flying solicitor wife. They barely talk, and when they do, it's to exchange barbed comments about each other's pasts. Caught in the middle, their sons Misha and Sasha, dream of a life in the USA, far away from the chaos and stress of Yeltsin's Russia, but Sergey's ambitions and Tanya's career threaten the stability of the family itself.
