It is set in the bohemian Moscow of 1922-1923 during Lenin’s NEP (New Economic Policy), a short-lived period of freedom before Stalin’s mass collectivization. It describes the lives and loves of a group of Jewish and non-Jewish men and women in the poor, threadbare, bohemian Moscow of the immediate post-revolutionary period. There is great poverty, accommodation is scarce and cramped, and the same clothes are worn for weeks. But the characters aspire to life, love, poetry, literature, and music.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elisheva","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48551271661819,"sku":"9798897835188","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/alleyways-9798897835188","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
