In Search of the Free Individual: The History of the Russian-Soviet Soul by Svetlana Alexievich
5.0
This is a twenty-minute read, tops.
She starts out by explaining how she invented her genre. She's brilliant! Just brilliant.
The whole speech has endless insights. One question she asked all of her Homo Sovieticus interview subjects is 'would you rather have a nation that is strong, or that is admirable?' 80% chose strong.
I guess we're seeing the results of that play out every single day.
