[18] The Sunday Times noted it was a "meticulously researched book"[19] NPR said, "With its overview of Russian history in the mid-20th century, including the privations of World War II, the abominations of Stalin's Great Terror, and Khrushchev's insufficient thaw, Lara is a chilling, upsetting reminder of what can happen when free speech is curtailed.
