Samenvatting
A haunting book of rare courage. Kostyuchenkos searing reportage takes the reader under the skin of a Russia that few outsiders get to see. With spare, unflinching prose she lays bare the cynicism and corruption, but also the bravery and heart, of her beloved country. Clarissa Ward, CNN chief international correspondent and author of On All Fronts
An unprecedented and intimate portrait of Russia, and a passionate cri de cur for journalism in opposition to the global authoritarian turn
To be a journalist is to tell the truth. I Love Russia is Elena Kostyuchenkos fearless and unrelenting attempt to document her country as experienced by those whom it systematically and brutally erases: village girls recruited into sex work, queer people in the outer provinces, patients and doctors at a Ukrainian maternity ward, and reporters like herself.
The result is a singular portrait of a nation, and of a young woman who refuses to be silenced. In March 2022, as a reporter for Russias last free press, Novaya Gazeta, Kostyuchenko crossed the border into Ukraine to cover the war. It was her mission to ensure that Russians witnessed the horrors Putin was committing in their name. She filed her pieces knowing that should she return home, she would likely be prosecuted and sentenced to up to fifteen years in prison. Yet, driven by the conviction that the greatest form of love and patriotism is criticism, she continues to write, undaunted and with eyes wide open.
I Love Russia stitches together reportage from the past fifteen years with personal essays, assembling a kaleidoscopic narrative that Kostyuchenko understands may be the last work from her homeland that shell publish for a long timeperhaps ever. She writes because the threat of Putins Russia extends beyond herself, beyond Crimea, and beyond Ukraine. We fail to understand it at our own peril.
