Krátky popis
'Quite simply the best and most powerful book I've read this year'
David Peace'A magnificent book . . .beautifully written and
passionately argued' Dominic Sandbrook'A remarkable eye-witness
account of Russia’s descent into authoritarianism and war'
Catherine BeltonA unique, personal insight into Vladimir Putin’s
Russia and the devastating impact his rule has had on his own
people and those of neighbouring Ukraine. In 2021, BBC journalist
Sarah Rainsford set out to write a book about how Russians who
dared to think differently to the Putin regime were being labelled
as enemies, foreign agents and even traitors. It was to chart
Russia's slide from democracy and warn of where the crushing of
liberties could lead.She had experienced something of that herself
when she was expelled from Moscow as a supposed 'security threat'.
Then, in February 2022, Putin began his full-scale invasion of
Ukraine, moving faster than her worst fears. This is the story of
how Vladmir Putin changed Russia so deeply that he was able to
launch the biggest conflict in Europe since the Second World
War.Sarah's focus is on the extraordinary characters she has
encountered, from the Russians such as Boris Nemtsov and Alexei
Navalny who paid with their lives for challenging Putin, to the
Ukrainians she found burying their dead in Bucha. It is also her
own personal reckoning with Russia, where she first lived in the
1990s: a country she saw emerge from decades of authoritarian rule
to embrace new freedoms, that has now quashed internal dissent and
declared a ruinous war on its neighbour. The culmination of many
years of on-the-ground reporting, Goodbye to Russia shines a light
on the attacks on freedom that she has witnessed and paints an
intimate portrait of the individuals who have tried to resist.
