“After living for almost a decade in Russia, and returning to the United States, I wanted to tell the story of my generation of Russians. They were a really interesting transition generation who were just coming of age during extreme changes in their country. And I wanted to bring stories and images of the USSR and of Russia today to Western audiences that would challenge the familiar stereotypes.” –filmmaker Robin Hessman on her doc My Perestroika.
