Eduard Gurvich: "England – A Country of Skeptics"
In "England – A Country of Skeptics," author Eduard Gurvich traces a personal transformation spanning more than three decades of life in the UK. Having emigrated from Moscow at age 50, Gurvich arrived in the West as a self-described romantic—carrying myths, dreams, and hopes that, as he writes, would later "crumble to dust." This shift from romanticism to skepticism is charted through his London reports published in the 1990s in the American Russian-language almanac Panorama. The book’s title reflects what Gurvich observed and absorbed over thirty years: an English skepticism that gradually replaced his earlier idealism. This is a memoir of cultural adjustment and inner change, grounded in the author’s firsthand experience as an immigrant.
