"We. Diary of a Fall" is Dmitry Glukhovsky's attempt to answer the question "What happened to Russia?"Publicistic notes and gossip columns, each of which is just a reaction to the news and trifles of life, form the history of the Putin regime from 2012 to the war in Ukraine. Already from today, moving step by step from event to event, Glukhovsky shows how freedom and democracy disappeared, how the security agencies became brutal, how the ghosts of the USSR returned, how the state ideology became militarized, how the country prepared for war. The author comments on each text in 2024, considering himself and his own perception as a historical object. "We. Diary of a Fall" shows with disconcerting clarity how much we refused to see while Russia methodically and consistently moved towards militant tyranny.
