WINNER OF THE 2017 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD IN NONFICTION FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARDS WINNER OF THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY'S HELEN BERNSTEIN BOOK… AWARD NAMED A BEST BOOK OF 2017 BY THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW, LOS ANGELES TIMES, WASHINGTON POST, BOSTON GLOBE, SEATTLE TIMES, CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR, NEWSWEEK, PASTE, and POP SUGAR The essential journalist and bestselling biographer of Vladimir Putin reveals how, in the space of a generation, Russia surrendered to a more virulent and invincible new strain of autocracy. Award-winning journalist Masha Gessen's understanding of the events and forces that have wracked Russia in recent times is unparalleled. In The Future Is History, Gessen 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.

Softcover. Condición: Fine. Abnutzung / Risse - leicht; Gebrochener Buchrücken / Seiten oder Softcover umgeknickt; Vergilbt / ausgeblichen. This is the chilling account of how a low-level, small-minded KGB operative ascended to the Russian presidency and, in an astonishingly short time, destroyed years of progress and made his c…ountry once more a threat to her own people and to the world. Handpicked by the "family" surrounding an ailing and increasingly unpopular Boris Yeltsin, Vladimir Putin seemed like a perfect choice for the oligarchy to shape according to its own designs. Suddenly the boy who had stood in the shadows was a public figure, and his popularity soared. Russia and an infatuated West were determined to see the progressive leader of their dreams, even as he seized control of media, sent political rivals and critics into exile or to the grave, and smashed the country's fragile electoral system, concentrating power in the hands of his cronies. As a journalist living in Moscow, Masha Gessen experienced this history firsthand, and she has drawn on sources no other writer has tapped.--From publisher description.

Softcover. Condición: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. Kdyz se v roce 1999 lide kolem Borise Jelcina snazili najit nahradu za sveho chradnouciho a cim dal mene oblibeneho prezidenta, padla jejich volba na tehdy temer neznameho Vladimira Vladimirovice Putina, muze bez tvare, o nemz si mysleli, ze se jim snadn…o podari dotvorit jej podle vlastnich predstav. A skutecne, Rusko i poblazneny Zapad byly rozhodnuty videt v nem progresivniho vudce svych snu, dokonce i tehdy, kdyz Putin nemilosrdne rozprasil ruska media, vyrval moc i bohatstvi z rukou byznysmenu a zlikvidoval krehce se rodici demokraticke mechanismy. Behem nekolika let byly odstraneny vsechny prekazky, jez by mu jakkoliv branily v uplatneni nekontrolovatelne moci: opozicni hlasy byly umlceny, politicti protivnici a kritici vyhnani do exilu nebo zavrazdeni. Masha Gessenova tento pribeh zazila na vlastni kuzi a podle toho o nem take hovori. Jeji fascinujici vypraveni o Putinove vzestupu a vlade je vynikajicim dilem zurnalisticke literatury a ceskemu ctenari prinese nejedno prekvapeni.

Softcover. Condición: Fine. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen; Vergilbt / ausgeblichen. Stat nas ochrani. Dokud nas nezacne ohrozovat. Kdyz se v roce 2016 stal vitezem americkych prezidentskych voleb Donald Trump, spousta Americanu i lidi po celem svete se uklidnovala odolnosti americkeho systemu a stabilitou jeho ins…tituci. Do cela svetove velmoci se mozna dostal narcistni psychopat, demokracie vsak nestoji na osobnostech, nybrz na pevnem systemu vah a protivah, nezavislych uradu a instituci s dlouhou a vazenou tradici, tradovalo se mezi zapadnimi novinari a komentatory. Jako jedna z mala kritizovala tento pristup Masha Gessen -- leta stravena v Rusku i psanim o vlade Vladimira Putina ji napovidala, ze prerod demokracie v autokracii muze byt snazsi a rychlejsi, nez by se mohlo zdat. Z jejiho eseje ,Autocracy: Rules for Survival" (Autokracie: pravidla preziti) se proto kratce po Trumpove vitezstvi stal jeden z nejsdilenejsich a nejcitovanejsich clanku. Kniha Prezit autokracii vsak neni pouhym kniznim rozpracovanim puvodniho eseje ci dalsi polozkou v dlouhem vyctu Trumpovych skandalu a prekracovani demokratickych mantinelu. Gessen zkusenosti s vladou a kroky Donalda Trumpa z poslednich ctyr let zasazuje do sirsiho politickeho ramce a srovnava je s podobnym vyvojem v Rusku ci orbanovskem Madarsku.
