Editorial Review | "Dark, compelling, and illuminating. Bennetts meets priests, lawmakers, spin-doctors, ordinary Russians, left-wing agitators, and riot cops in this vivid first-hand portrait."
— Luke Harding, Guardian correspondent and author of Mafia State
"Colourful and authoritative. The best account of Russia's protest movement and Putin's ferocious crackdown."
— Angus Roxburgh, author of Vladimir Putin and the Struggle for Russia
"Vivid and insightful. Bennetts captures a transitional moment in Russian history. Years from now, when researchers are seeking to explain the second Putin era, they would do well to use this reportage."
— Daniel Kalder, author of Lost Cosmonaut |
