“I had almost given up hope that any American could depict the true face of Russia and Soviet rule. In David Satter’s Age of Delirium, the world has received a chronicle of the cavalry of the Russian people under communism that will last for generations.” – Vladimir Voinovich, author of “The Life and Extraordinary Adventures of Private Ivan Chonkin”.

“Spellbinding. . . . Gives one a visceral feel for what it was like to be trapped by the communist system.”-Jack Matlock, Washington Post.

“Satter deserves our gratitude. . . . He is an astute observer of people, with an eye for essential detail and for human behavior in a universe wholly different from his own experience in America.” – Walter Laqueur, Wall Street Journal.

“Every page of this splendid and eloquent and impassioned book reflects an extraordinarily acute understanding of the Soviet system.” – Jacob Heilbrunn, Washington Times.

she studied in the studio run by Vladimir Etush (a People’s Artist of the
USSR). She received her artistic training from Nina Rusinova, Cecilia
Mansurova, Maria Sidel’nikova, and Evgeny Simonov. Natalia’s fellow students were
Alexander Zbruev, Ludmila Maksakova, Ivan Bortnik, and Alexander Belyavsky.
Natalia Maeva first played at the Moscow Comedy Theatre and later with
the New Drama Theatre directed by the People’s Artist of the Russian
Federation, Boris L’vov-Anohin.

Boris L’vov-Anohin commented on Natalia: “Maeva is a person, who is fully
immersed in art; one who is always deeply moved by some performance,
artist, book or music”.

In 2006, Natalia published her book “Mimoletnosti-entries from an actress’s diary”. Her monodrama “The Human Voice” by Jean Cocteau was very well received in France.
