Putin’s bestselling biographer reveals how, in the space of a generation, Russia surrendered to a more virulent and invincible new strain of autocracy.
Hailed for her “fearless indictment of the most powerful man in Russia” (The Wall Street Journal), award-winning journalist Masha Gessen is unparalleled in her understanding of the events and forces that have wracked her native country in recent times. In The Future Is History, she follows the lives of four people born at what promised to be the dawn of democracy. Each of them came of age with unprecedented expectations, some as the children and grandchildren of the very architects of the new Russia, each with newfound aspirations of their own—as entrepreneurs, activists, thinkers, and writers, sexual and social beings.
Gessen charts their paths against the machinations of the regime that would crush them all, and against the war it waged on understanding itself, which ensured the unobstructed reemergence of the old Soviet order in the form of today’s terrifying and seemingly unstoppable mafia state. Powerful and urgent, The Future Is History is a cautionary tale for our time and for all time.
Masha Gessen is a staff writer at the New Yorker and the author of several books, among them The Man Without a Face: The Unlikely Rise of Vladimir Putin. The recipient of numerous awards, including a Guggenheim Fellowship and a Carnegie Fellowship, Gessen teaches at Amherst College and lives in New York City.
Blinksit扫过。有冲动想去读一下原作。这类书籍是很容易有了一个非常让人放不下的观点然后找证据去充实的冲动。苏联解体后,确定感的消失以及对不稳定性的恐惧让人们一定程度上渴望回到过去的totalitarianism,其实是乍一看有点吸引人但实则上还是缺乏洞见的。很多孩子其实就是这样的。而且最后开始讲弗洛伊德之后就更觉得玄乎了。俄罗斯的精神文化政治,至今都没有看到特别好的解读,但实在是个太让人好奇的话题了。不同于中国的绝对东方文化主宰,俄罗斯独特的地理位置和环境,介于东西之间的独树一帜,西方宗教的影响,辈出的文艺人才,看似拍脑袋的政治发展,航天技术优秀却工业制造颓靡,太神奇了。
评分真是一本让人拍案叫好,却又瑟瑟发抖的书。看完之后差点哭出来了,时机简直不能更碰巧了。作者真的很会写书,先把历史介绍一遍,很用心地铺垫了苏联坍塌的环境,从几个比较有独特视角的人物身上出发,讲述了俄罗斯的“近代史”。很难不对号入座,差点以为自己在看“大清”近代史。最让我喜欢的是用Gudkov, Arendt这些学者的totalitarianism理论来相互对照比较,指出了很多非常让人深思的点。在讨论专制人民文化的时候也是非常精彩,一次次告诉读者:他们之所以会有这样的想法,是因为这才是真正的正常人的想法,虽然霸道、蛮横,但却不与专制社会环境背道而驰。读到最后一部分的时候,终于被作者多次点题的"the future is history"拍醒。非常棒的书。

I think a better title for this book is something like "A General Survey of Recent Russian Political History: How Intelligent Russians were Forced to Leave the Country". I don't think the author gives a convincing or well-argued answer to the actual questio...
