The reason I liked this book is because it taught how our culture is different from Russian culture. I also showed how we have a lot better life than the Russians. I like how it described each character and described things year by year.

The cultural experience that I learned from this book is to see that we have a lot more freedom than the Russians. Russian soldiers were made to join the army instead of enlist like in America.
