Uncultured: A Memoir

Author: Daniella Mestyanek Young Publication Date: September 2022

The question I had to ask throughout the book: Why? Why and why? Why would adults do this to themselves and their children? Why would women willingly submit themselves to men and live a life that is so belittling, and why would they make other women do the same? And why does this happen in today’s age, when there is so much more awareness… or why is this happening in the so-called, Western, developed countries? Continue reading

What drives a person to sacrifice themselves, their family, and their friends for a conviction? Is it truly a selfless act? The memoir is very interesting — a fascinating read. Navalny talks about his childhood, his upbringing, his rejection of the political system, how he exposed corruption and the selfishness of government officials, why in his view Russia never progressed and is still behind other European countries, why he feels people need to stand up and claim what belongs to them, how he went about fighting it, why he decided to go back even after the Novichok attack, and, most interestingly, how he remained sane in solitary confinement.
