Description
The Future Is History: How Totalitarianism Reclaimed Russia by Masha Gessen In this powerful and urgent work, award-winning journalist Masha Gessen examines the lives of four individuals born at the dawn of democracy in Russia. As they came of age with unprecedented expectations, each faced the machinations of a regime that would crush them all. Gessen charts their paths against the backdrop of a war waged on understanding itself, which ensured the unobstructed reemergence of the old Soviet order. This cautionary tale is a timely and timeless exploration of the forces that shape our world today. With unparalleled insight into the events and forces that have wracked Russia in recent times, Gessen's work is a worthwhile read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of modern politics.
