Contents/Summary
- Summary
- Quitting his job at the old-style state-run regional newspaper The Leninist, entrepreneurial and ambitious journalist Andrei Shkolny launches a private newspaper in the largely rural, often snowbound Ulianovsk region on the Volga river. With only his wife to help, he self-publishes stories concerning the local community in Our Newspaper. The couple takes on local apathy, isolationism, criticism, and ridicule; they are determined to serve the local population, located over 550 miles from Moscow. Week after week, everything from writing and researching the articles to designing the layout takes place in their small home. They even work to distribute the paper with their tiny family car. Andrey and Marina's light-hearted local news quickly gathers gravity, eventually putting its creators in danger. Juxtaposing small, personal stories against the background of contemporary Russian history, Our Newspaper paints a portrait of personal integrity and bravery under increasingly desperate circumstances.
