To read Julia Ioffe’s new book, “Motherland: A Feminist History of Modern Russia, from Revolution to Autocracy” is to take a rambling ride — or a crash course if this is new territory — through the last century of Russian history as the ghosts of grandmothers past whisper in your ear. Ioffe, a Russian-born journalist, came to America with her family in 1990 at age 7. When she returned in 2009, the country she remembered was long gone.
