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。

论柔道冠军如何干翻小清新

Blinksit扫过。有冲动想去读一下原作。这类书籍是很容易有了一个非常让人放不下的观点然后找证据去充实的冲动。苏联解体后，确定感的消失以及对不稳定性的恐惧让人们一定程度上渴望回到过去的totalitarianism，其实是乍一看有点吸引人但实则上还是缺乏洞见的。很多孩子其实就是这样的。而且最后开始讲弗洛伊德之后就更觉得玄乎了。俄罗斯的精神文化政治，至今都没有看到特别好的解读，但实在是个太让人好奇的话题了。不同于中国的绝对东方文化主宰，俄罗斯独特的地理位置和环境，介于东西之间的独树一帜，西方宗教的影响，辈出的文艺人才，看似拍脑袋的政治发展，航天技术优秀却工业制造颓靡，太神奇了。

书中的人物故事与Orlando Figes的A People's Tragedy、Isaiah Berlin十九世纪Russian Thinkers参照同读，先有一种巨大的陌生感——俄国Romanov王朝以来，局限在东方专制传统和欧洲改革历程之间徘徊，于极端之间摇摆，难有一个中间道路可以选择，思想人物的历程也是如此。但是如此众多的男女寻找道路的勇气，正是这种勇气会带来很大的陌生感受，其二便是强烈的熟悉味道，好比苏联有高尔基，中国有郭沫若，这一点也就毋须讳言了。

真是一本让人拍案叫好，却又瑟瑟发抖的书。看完之后差点哭出来了，时机简直不能更碰巧了。作者真的很会写书，先把历史介绍一遍，很用心地铺垫了苏联坍塌的环境，从几个比较有独特视角的人物身上出发，讲述了俄罗斯的“近代史”。很难不对号入座，差点以为自己在看“大清”近代史。最让我喜欢的是用Gudkov, Arendt这些学者的totalitarianism理论来相互对照比较，指出了很多非常让人深思的点。在讨论专制人民文化的时候也是非常精彩，一次次告诉读者：他们之所以会有这样的想法，是因为这才是真正的正常人的想法，虽然霸道、蛮横，但却不与专制社会环境背道而驰。读到最后一部分的时候，终于被作者多次点题的"the future is history"拍醒。非常棒的书。
