Product Description

I Love Russia: Reporting from a Lost Country, Hardcover

About This Item

Experience the raw and gripping truth of Russia with "I Love Russia: Reporting from a Lost Country." Written by Elena Kostyuchenko, this haunting book offers a rare glimpse into a Russia that few outsiders have the chance to see. With spare and unflinching prose, Kostyuchenko exposes the cynicism, corruption, bravery, and heart of her beloved country. As a journalist for Russia's last free press, Novaya Gazeta, Kostyuchenko embarked on a daring mission in March 2022. Crossing the border into Ukraine to cover the war, she aimed to ensure that Russians bore witness to the horrors committed by Putin in their name.

Despite the immense risks involved, including possible prosecution and a lengthy prison sentence upon her return, Kostyuchenko persisted in writing. For her, the greatest form of love and patriotism lies in criticism. "I Love Russia" weaves together Kostyuchenko's reportage from the past fifteen years with personal essays, creating a kaleidoscopic narrative that may be her last published work from her homeland for a long time—perhaps forever. Through her words, she illuminates the extent of the threat posed by Putin's Russia, extending far beyond herself, Crimea, and Ukraine. This book is not just a collection of stories; it serves as a passionate cri de cœur for journalism and opposition to the global authoritarian turn.

Kostyuchenko fearlessly documents the experiences of those that her country systematically erases: village girls forced into sex work, queer individuals in the outskirts, patients and doctors at a Ukrainian maternity ward, and fellow journalists. "I Love Russia: Reporting from a Lost Country" is a must-read for anyone seeking an unprecedented and intimate portrait of Russia. Whether you're interested in Russian history, literature, culture, politics, economy, or simply want to gain a deeper understanding of the country, this book is a powerful and eye-opening account that should not be missed. Don't let ignorance put you at peril – immerse yourself in the truth with "I Love Russia.".
