Krátky popis
'History is made up of myths,' writes the renowned Russian
dissident journalist Mikhail Zygar. 'Alas, our myths led us to the
fascism of 2022. It is time to expose them.' Drawing from his
perilous career investigating the frontiers of the Russian empire,
Zygar reveals how 350 years of propaganda, bad historical
scholarship, folk tales and fantasy spurred his nation into war
with Ukraine.How did a German monk's fear of the Ottoman Empire
drive him to invent the fiction of a united Russian world? How did
corny spy novels about a 'Soviet James Bond' inspire Vladimir Putin
to join the KGB? How did Alexander Pushkin's admiration for a poem
by Lord Byron end with him slandering the legendary chief of the
Cossacks? And how did Putin underestimate a rising TV comic named
Volodymyr Zelensky, failing to see that his satire had become
deadly serious, and that his country would be a joke no longer?A
noted expert on the Kremlin with unparalleled access to hundreds of
players in the current conflict - from politicians to oligarchs,
gangsters to comedians (not least Zelensky himself) - Zygar
chronicles the power struggles from which today's politics grew,
and digs out the essential truths from behind layers of seductive
legend.By surveying the strange, complex record of Russo-Ukrainian
relations, War and Punishment reveals exactly how the largest
nation on Earth lost its senses. A work of history can't undo the
past or transform the present, but sometimes it can shape the
future.In fact, that's how the story begins.
