I Love Russia

Reporting from a Lost Country

Übersetzer: Shayevich, Bela; Chavasse, Ilona Yazhbin

Beschreibung

This "is Elena Kostyuchenko's fearless and unrelenting attempt to document Putin's Russia as experienced by those whom it systematically and brutally erases: village girls recruited into sex work, queer people in the outer provinces, patients and doctors at a Ukrainian maternity ward, and reporters like herself. The result is a singular portrait of a nation, and of a young woman who refuses to be silenced"--Publisher description.
