2017年美國國傢圖書奬得主,講述瞭普氏俄羅斯的前世今生。杜金的極右民族主義在《黑風白雪Black Wind White Snow》裏已經有過接觸,不過按照本書(所引用)的觀點,一個集權或威權社會擁有什麼樣的意識形態其實並不那麼重要,因為生命力頑強的「蘇維埃人」,隻要有瞭歸屬感和安全感,便心滿意足。換句話說,任何意識形態都有潛力成為構建集權社會的基礎。正因為如此,三十年前巨無霸的轟然倒塌,盡管被「隻緣身在此山中」的當時人賦予瞭無比重大的意義,但其實隻不過是曆史長河中的一個小小漩渦罷瞭。
評分真是一本讓人拍案叫好,卻又瑟瑟發抖的書。看完之後差點哭齣來瞭,時機簡直不能更碰巧瞭。作者真的很會寫書,先把曆史介紹一遍,很用心地鋪墊瞭蘇聯坍塌的環境,從幾個比較有獨特視角的人物身上齣發,講述瞭俄羅斯的“近代史”。很難不對號入座,差點以為自己在看“大清”近代史。最讓我喜歡的是用Gudkov, Arendt這些學者的totalitarianism理論來相互對照比較,指齣瞭很多非常讓人深思的點。在討論專製人民文化的時候也是非常精彩,一次次告訴讀者:他們之所以會有這樣的想法,是因為這纔是真正的正常人的想法,雖然霸道、蠻橫,但卻不與專製社會環境背道而馳。讀到最後一部分的時候,終於被作者多次點題的"the future is history"拍醒。非常棒的書。

評分最後Arutyunyan對於弗洛伊德Death Drive的思考讓人迷惘,國傢是否也會具備這樣的心智模式?關於蘇聯舊生活的追憶、年輕一代消費習性的變遷;Homo sovieticus的概念被裹挾在無限的螺鏇式謊言之中:假裝存在、擁有和相信,同時也在假裝不存在、不擁有和不相信。
評分書中的人物故事與Orlando Figes的A People's Tragedy、Isaiah Berlin十九世紀Russian Thinkers參照同讀,先有一種巨大的陌生感——俄國Romanov王朝以來,局限在東方專製傳統和歐洲改革曆程之間徘徊,於極端之間搖擺,難有一個中間道路可以選擇,思想人物的曆程也是如此。但是如此眾多的男女尋找道路的勇氣,正是這種勇氣會帶來很大的陌生感受,其二便是強烈的熟悉味道,好比蘇聯有高爾基,中國有郭沫若,這一點也就毋須諱言瞭。
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...
