HOW RUSSIA LOST ITS CHANCE OF FREEDOM: A landmark work of political history detailing the decline of modern Russia, taking us right up to Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
Brilliantly told through the tumultuous life and brutal assassination of Boris Nemtsov (1959-2015). When Russia emerged from the debris of 70 years of Communist party rule, the country offered signs of hope it would become a democracy and a respected player on the international scene. Instead, it turned into a dictatorship, one which has no respect for human rights, murders and imprisons its political opponents, and launched a war on a scale not seen in Europe since the end of World War II. How did this happen? The Successor explores recent Russian history through the life of the Russian liberal leader Boris Nemtsov, who started his political career in the late 80s--at the height of Gorbachev's Perestroika--and was assassinated in early 2015 beside his Ukrainian partner Anna Durytska, on a bridge near the Kremlin. Nemtsov took part in or witnessed all the landmark events that shaped Russia and its political trajectory, from the first free national elections and the coup attempt of 1991 to the annexation of Crimea in 2014. Nemtsov's fate reflects Russia's fate. At the time of his assassination, Nemtsov was helping to organize a rally against the Russian military intervention in Ukraine and the Russian financial crisis. Drawing on vast numbers of archival materials and off-the-record interviews with figures such as Alexey Navalny, exiled Russian journalist Mikhail Fishman constructs a comprehensive, landmark work of political journalism. As engrossing as it is disturbing, The Successor is both a biography of Nemtsov and of Russia itself.Kundinnen und Kunden meinen
