Want to read Russian history but don’t know where to start? 🇷🇺📚

Here are some of my favourite books for understanding post-Soviet Russia, from the collapse of the USSR and the rise of Yeltsin, through the Chechen wars and the emergence of Vladimir Putin, to corruption, opposition, propaganda and journalism in modern Russia.

Save this list and send it to someone who wants to understand how Russia got to where it is today.

Four books you’ll almost never see recommended…

but once you know them, you’ll want to come back and watch this again.

One man sits face-to-face with a captured dictator.

Another explains how a group driven from power returned stronger than ever.

A third shows the extreme lengths women went to for the vote.

And the last takes you past every cliché to the real heart of a country.

Save this. Send it to a friend.

You’ll want to rewatch it.

Drop “book” below if you want the list.

One of the best books on Brazil you’ll ever read.

Luis Eduardo Soares takes you from Carnival glamour to the favelas, from the streets to the halls of power, cops, criminals, corruption and all.

Extreme City is pure Rio. Save this and send it to a friend who needs it.
