PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Mikhail Zygar is a journalist and filmmaker, and the founding editor-in-chief of Dozhd, Russia's last independent TV news channel. He is also the author of a number of books, including All the Kremlin's Men (2017), a critical portrait of Putin's inner circle that was a number-one bestseller in Russia. In 2014 he received the International Press Freedom Award. As soon as the invasion of Ukraine began, Zygar wrote a public condemnation that was signed by hundreds of his cultural and journalistic contacts and then by thousands of ordinary citizens. A new law criminalizing criticism of the war swiftly followed, and Zygar went into exile.
Zygar demolishes Putin's myths about Ukraine with a fury born out of shame at what is being done in his country's name. It is just possible to dream that, one day, War and Punishment will be taught in Russian schools in place of the Kremlin's deadly lies. * OLIVER BULLOUGH, author of BUTLER TO THE WORLD * Why is my country fascist - and what is my role in that? For Russia to ever change these are the questions Russians will need to ask. Zygar does it with a searing mix of history and self-reflection. * PETER POMERANTSEV, author of THIS IS NOT PROPAGANDA * Zygar has invented a new genre. If Tolstoy's story is a wide river and Proust's is a slow river, Zygar's is a chase. * DMITRY MURATOV, WINNER OF THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE 2021 * Passionate and perceptive, one of Russia's best journalists busts the myths underpinning the country's turn towards ultra-nationalism. Read it - and hope that Russians do too. * ANNA REID, author of BORDERLAND * To account for Russia's descent into the abyss and the most bloody war in Europe since WWII, Zygar invites us to walk an uneasy path of reconsideration of the recent past. His book is not only a guide to that past but also a powerful call to change the present. * SERHII PLOKHY, author of THE GATES OF EUROPE * PRAISE FOR MIKHAIL ZYGAR Of the many accounts written about the Russian president, Mikhail Zygar's insider's guide to his court is one of the most compelling * Guardian * One of those important thinkers who helps us to not lose our memory -- Nadya Tolokonnikova, Pussy Riot Zygar approaches history like he's interviewing it - listening to what those involved had to say and expertly putting that in context. The result is a riveting unfolding of history as it was being lived * Foreign Policy * Knowing he could always follow many colleagues and activists into jail, hospital, or into the graveyard, Zygar persists -- Christiane Amanpour * CNN * Zygar is one of the heroes of Putin's Russia * Washington Post *
