The Gulag Archipelago, 1918-1956: An Experiment in Literary Investigation (Volume One) (Paperback)
by Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn
Also read volume three, which details the rebellions of Soviet cities in the 1960s and 70s (which curiously enough, were not widely reported in Western media at the time).
Russians make the 1) Toughest mafias 2) Strongest booze 3) Best books.
Best light reading on a airplane:
Vertical Run by Joseph Garber
