| Description | Mikhail Zygar is a political journalist, documentary filmmaker, and writer. He is also the former editor-in-chief of TV Rain. He is the author of All the Kremlin’s Men, The Empire Must Die, Everybody Is Free, and War and Punishment, the last of which was published together with Meduza. His new book, The Dark Side of the Earth, is a deeply personal reconstruction of the final thirty years of the Soviet Union. It follows the country’s path from the beginning of the space age and the high point of Soviet power to stagnation, then to perestroika, crisis, and collapse. At the same time, it is a book about people who lived through that era and helped define it. Among them are Mikhail and Raisa Gorbachev. Yuri Gagarin, Vladimir Vysotsky and Marina Vlady appear here as well. The book also turns to Alla Pugacheva, Andrei Sakharov, Boris Yeltsin, and others. In the end, it is a book about choice and about the hope that history can still be changed. |
