Two Regimes is a story of the will and survival of everyday people faced with the realities of imposed starvation, internment, devastation, and War.
The embodiment of the story of Two Regimes is synonymous with the history that profoundly affects the lives of Teodora Verbitskaya the author and her family.
Although the history of the two regimes of Stalin and Hitler is complex, the details of the memoir of Verbitskaya’s Two Regimes and the imagery of the paintings of her daughter Nadia Werbitzky, who experienced life with her at this time, provides us with an insight into this time-period like none else.
