Description

A Russian Diary is a deeply personal and unflinching account of life in Russia during a tumultuous period. Written by Anna Politkovskaya, the book chronicles her experiences from 2003 to 2005, covering key events such as the parliamentary elections and the aftermath of the Beslan school siege.

Through her diary entries, Politkovskaya offers a stark portrayal of the struggles faced by ordinary Russians under Vladimir Putin's presidency. With unflinching honesty, she reports on the cynicism and corruption that pervaded Russian society during this time.

This powerful and thought-provoking book provides a unique insight into the human cost of politics and the importance of free speech in a democratic society.
