‎Posner V.V. Farewell to Illusions. About himself, time, and Russia with frightening frankness. In Russian /Pozner V.V. Proshchanie s illyuziyami. O sebe, vremeni i Rossii s pugayushchey otkrovennostyu. The book Farewell to Illusions was written by Vladimir Posner twenty-one years ago. He wrote in English. It was on the New York Times bestseller list in the United States for twelve weeks. Posner believed that he would translate his book immediately into Russian, but, as he said, It was too difficult for me, Ill wait a little longer. He waited eighteen years for the translation to be completed in 2008. He spent another three years thinking about how to reflect those past years in the manuscript. And only now, according to the author, it is time to publish a Russian version of Farewell to Illusions.
