who first taught me Russian, and Sveta Prudnikova, whose irrepressible spirit never faltered as she tried to make my Russian better; and my colleagues from the Times and elsewhere: Catherine Belton, Alan Cowell, Alan Cullison, Peter Finn, Nicole Gaouette, Isabel Gorst, NickKulish, Albina Kovalyova, Mark Mazzetti, Anna Nemtsova, Arkady Ostrovsky, and Sharon Weinberger. Finally, I thank my wife, Margaret Xavier Myers, and our daughters, Emma and Madeline, who tolerated the numerous inconveniences involved in this effort and to whom I have dedicated this book.
