Early notice: drop everything, go out, buy, and carefully read the following two important books: Savage Century: Back to Barbarism by Therese Delpech
And of course, A Russian Diary: A Journalist’s Final Account of Life, Corruption, and Death in Putin’s Russia by Anna Politkovskaya, Scott Simon, and Arch Tait
Over the next few weeks, I’m planning on heavily discussing, citing, and debating these texts, which I think are the two most important books on Russia available this summer. I hope you can join in.
