An essential guide to the strange, sinister culture of contemporary Russia. Upon the invasion of Ukraine, Jonathan Fink set out to uncover through interviews the real heart of Russia, and uncovered a country besieged by unfathomable terrorism and deep-seated paranoia, where crime is scarcely ever met with punishment. This eminently readable book shows how we need to look at the Kremlin’s deeds and ignore their words to get a handle on the most disruptive country of the 21st century.
