ABOUT
THE BOOK

It is the story of Andrzej “Nails” Robakoski and his unraveling after his girlfriend Magda dumps him. A tracksuited slacker, Nails spends most of his time doing little more than searching for his next girl, next line of speed, next proof for his conspiracy theories about the Polish economy. A xenophobic campaign against the proliferating Russian black market escalates, culminating in ‘No Russkies Day- or is that just in Nails’ fevered mind? By turns poetic, hilarious, disturbing, and dirty, ‘Snow White and the Russian Red’ is a powerful portrait of love, hopelessness, and political burnout in today’s Eastern Europe.
