MASHA GESSEN presents The Future is History
Monday, October 9, 7:30PM
at the Hillside Club, 2286 Cedar St. in Berkeley
TICKETS ON SALE NOW
A major new narrative nonfiction work by the bestselling author of Putin's biography and "one of the most important activists and journalists Russia has known in a generation” (David Remnick, The New Yorker), Masha Gessen's The Future is History: How Totalitarianism Reclaimed Russia is a cautionary tale for our time. Over the past three decades, Russia, having seemingly shed its Soviet incarnation for good and embarked on a journey toward democracy, devolved into a frightening retro-totalitarian state run by Putin with an iron fist. As Gessen writes, "The crackdown, the wars, and even Russia's reversion to type on the world stage are things that happened that I witnessed and I wanted to tell this story. But I also wanted to tell about what did not happen: the story of freedom that was not embraced and democracy that was not desired. How do you tell a story like that? Where do you locate reasons for the absences? When do you begin, and with whom?"
Gessen captures this pivotal era through the stories of several Russians whose lives spanned these decades; who blossomed with its embrace of unprecedented freedoms, then were crushed by its war on the very means by which they had come to understand themselves. By giving us the arc of these individual lives, The Future is History pushes past the abstractions and headlines, providing an illuminating, in-depth perspective on daily life under a regime that has turned on its own people.
