A DAILY MAIL, FINANCIAL TIMES AND PROSPECT POLITICS BOOK OF THE
YEARSHORTLISTED FOR THE BEST BOOK BY A NON-PARLIAMENTARIAN IN THE
WESTMINSTER BOOK AWARDS'Quite simply the best and most powerful
book I’ve read this year' David Peace'A magnificent book . .
.beautifully written and passionately argued' Dominic Sandbrook'A
remarkable eye-witness account of Russia’s descent into
authoritarianism and war' Catherine BeltonA unique, personal
insight into Vladimir Putin’s Russia and the devastating impact his
rule has had on his own people and those of neighbouring Ukraine.
In 2021, BBC journalist Sarah Rainsford set out to write a book
about how Russians who dared to think differently to the Putin
regime were being labelled as enemies, foreign agents and even
traitors. It was to chart Russia's slide from democracy and warn of
where the crushing of liberties could lead.She had experienced
something of that herself when she was expelled from Moscow as a
supposed 'security threat'. Then, in February 2022, Putin began his
full-scale invasion of Ukraine, moving faster than her worst fears.
This is the story of how Vladmir Putin changed Russia so deeply
that he was able to launch the biggest conflict in Europe since the
Second World War.Sarah's focus is on the extraordinary characters
she has encountered, from the Russians such as Boris Nemtsov and
Alexei Navalny who paid with their lives for challenging Putin, to
the Ukrainians she found burying their dead in Bucha. It is also
her own personal reckoning with Russia, where she first lived in
the 1990s: a country she saw emerge from decades of authoritarian
rule to embrace new freedoms, that has now quashed internal dissent
and declared a ruinous war on its neighbour. The culmination of
many years of on-the-ground reporting, Goodbye to Russia shines a
light on the attacks on freedom that she has witnessed and paints
an intimate portrait of the individuals who have tried to resist.
