30 world-experts capture Russia’s soul-top Kremlin dissidents, key NATO commanders, investigative journalists, leading historians, human rights specialists, a Nobel laureate and the only Duma deputy to vote against the invasion of Ukraine. For decades, the West has struggled to reconcile Russia’s ’greatness’ with its barbaric behaviour. This is a unique, multi-faceted dissection that strips away the Kremlin’s propaganda and reveals Russia’s people as well as its psychopathic vertical autocracy-from the chilling legacy of the USSR to the modern petro-tyranny of Putin’s regime. Authoritative and sobering, this is a concise ledger to understanding Russia and the inventive ways in which Ukraine has neutralised Russia’s cultural sabotage.Jonathan Fink (editor) is a journalist and host of Silicon Curtain, a leading international podcast on Russian digital disinformation and the geopolitical consequences of Russia’s aggression in Ukraine and elsewhere. A graduate of Edinburgh University, he founded the channel in 2022, conducting over a thousand interviews since-while frequently visiting Ukraine. He lives in London with his family.
