Masha Gessen is a staff writer at the New Yorker and the author of several books, among them The Man Without a Face: The Unlikely Rise of Vladimir Putin. The recipient of numerous awards, including a Guggenheim Fellowship and a Carnegie Fellowship, Gessen teaches at Amherst College and lives in New York City.
Putin’s bestselling biographer reveals how, in the space of a generation, Russia surrendered to a more virulent and invincible new strain of autocracy.
Hailed for her “fearless indictment of the most powerful man in Russia” (The Wall Street Journal), award-winning journalist Masha Gessen is unparalleled in her understanding of the events and forces that have wracked her native country in recent times. In The Future Is History, she follows the lives of four people born at what promised to be the dawn of democracy. Each of them came of age with unprecedented expectations, some as the children and grandchildren of the very architects of the new Russia, each with newfound aspirations of their own—as entrepreneurs, activists, thinkers, and writers, sexual and social beings.
Gessen charts their paths against the machinations of the regime that would crush them all, and against the war it waged on understanding itself, which ensured the unobstructed reemergence of the old Soviet order in the form of today’s terrifying and seemingly unstoppable mafia state. Powerful and urgent, The Future Is History is a cautionary tale for our time and for all time.
I think a better title for this book is something like "A General Survey of Recent Russian Political History: How Intelligent Russians were Forced to Leave the Country". I don't think the author gives a convincing or well-argued answer to the actual questio...

评分2017年美国国家图书奖得主,讲述了普氏俄罗斯的前世今生。杜金的极右民族主义在《黑风白雪Black Wind White Snow》里已经有过接触,不过按照本书(所引用)的观点,一个集权或威权社会拥有什么样的意识形态其实并不那么重要,因为生命力顽强的「苏维埃人」,只要有了归属感和安全感,便心满意足。换句话说,任何意识形态都有潜力成为构建集权社会的基础。正因为如此,三十年前巨无霸的轰然倒塌,尽管被「只缘身在此山中」的当时人赋予了无比重大的意义,但其实只不过是历史长河中的一个小小漩涡罢了。
评分利用寫論文的拖延間隙看完了。不愧是美國國家圖書獎得主,文筆異常精彩流暢。不過可能因為定位是非學術書籍,很多檔案資料來源不明,讓人懷疑資料考證的準確性。
