Présentation
Journalist Masha Gessen follows four Russians born at what promised to be the dawn of democracy — children and grandchildren of the very architects of the new Russia, who came of age with unprecedented expectations as entrepreneurs, activists, thinkers and writers. Through their intertwined lives, The Future Is History traces how, decade after decade, the space for freedom closed and totalitarian reflexes reclaimed the country. Winner of the 2017 National Book Award for Nonfiction, it combines the intimacy of biography with the sweep of political history — an essential key to understanding today's Russia.
