I Love Russia by Elena Kostyuchenko

_pickle_'s review

dark emotional informative sad medium-paced

5.0

A stunning, haunting portrait of a country that seems lost and set on self-destruction. The harshness, oppression, and corruption experienced by its people is heartbreaking. Kostyuchenko's writing is incredible, necessary and deeply affecting.

Such a difficult read.  But we owe it to Elena, and jouranlists worldwide who risk their lives, in bringing us the 'truth'.
