This book traces the evolution of Russia, from the personality cult of Stalin, which continues to permeate Russian society, to the war in Ukraine. It also involves the control of power over the media, the transformation of the Orthodox Church into absolute support of the regime, and the annexation of Crimea.
By going through these significant events, Dmitry Glukhovsky, exiled writer and journalist, condemned in absentia by the regime of Vladimir Putin, analyses, interprets and dissects these political and social excesses.
“Since when has Russia been possessed by a demon that drives it to throw tantrums, utter unintelligible curses and absurd accusations, and throw itself foaming at its neighbors in an attempt to rip out their throats? »
