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.
2017年美國國傢圖書奬得主,講述瞭普氏俄羅斯的前世今生。杜金的極右民族主義在《黑風白雪Black Wind White Snow》裏已經有過接觸,不過按照本書(所引用)的觀點,一個集權或威權社會擁有什麼樣的意識形態其實並不那麼重要,因為生命力頑強的「蘇維埃人」,隻要有瞭歸屬感和安全感,便心滿意足。換句話說,任何意識形態都有潛力成為構建集權社會的基礎。正因為如此,三十年前巨無霸的轟然倒塌,盡管被「隻緣身在此山中」的當時人賦予瞭無比重大的意義,但其實隻不過是曆史長河中的一個小小漩渦罷瞭。
評分書中的人物故事與Orlando Figes的A People's Tragedy、Isaiah Berlin十九世紀Russian Thinkers參照同讀,先有一種巨大的陌生感——俄國Romanov王朝以來,局限在東方專製傳統和歐洲改革曆程之間徘徊,於極端之間搖擺,難有一個中間道路可以選擇,思想人物的曆程也是如此。但是如此眾多的男女尋找道路的勇氣,正是這種勇氣會帶來很大的陌生感受,其二便是強烈的熟悉味道,好比蘇聯有高爾基,中國有郭沫若,這一點也就毋須諱言瞭。

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...
