The Future Is History

Streszczenie książki

Masha Gessen is an esteemed journalist living in New York City. Her writing has been featured in the New York Review of Books and the New Yorker. Her previous books include The Man Without a Face: The Unlikely Rise of Vladimir Putin.

The primary message of this book is that the Soviet Union isolated itself from the rest of the world and prohibited the teaching of true social psychology, leaving many generations of Russians without self-understanding. Following the Soviet Union's dissolution, an unprepared population struggled with the uncertainty and instability that accompanied the end of communism. Consequently, they embraced Vladimir Putin's autocratic leadership, which includes using anti-homosexual measures as a harsh political tool. Russia, under Putin, has moved further away from democracy, posing a risk of increased totalitarianism in the future. Have thoughts to share? We would greatly appreciate your feedback on our content!
