A collection of writings on recent Russian politics, focusing on Vladimir Putin's government and the 2003 parliamentary elections, by one of the greatest and bravest journalists of our time.

A Russian Diary is the book that Anna Politkovskaya had recently completed when she was murdered in a contract killing in Moscow. Covering the period from the Russian parliamentary elections of December 2003 to the tragic aftermath of the Beslan school siege in late 2005, A Russian Diary is an unflinching record of the plight of millions of Russians and a pitiless report on the cynicism and corruption of Vladimir Putin's Presidency.

Reviews for A Russian Diary: With a Foreword by Jon Snow

Passionate... Devastating... Powerful * Guardian * Politkovskaya is a Solzhenitsyn for the 21st century... Very few were telling a similar truth in her lifetime and even fewer will tell it now that she is dead * Observer * Politkovskaya gives an account of life as it is lived under Putin, fearlessly detailing the chaos and corruption she saw around her * Independent on Sunday * Brilliant... she reminds us what journalism can be * Herald * This is her testimony... it makes for impressive and immediate reading * Independent *
