- Summary:
- This ground-breaking book blows the cobwebs off antiquated notions of Russia as an enigmatic nation doomed to tragic failure. In this anthology, thirty young Russian intellectuals, representatives of a new generation who came of age during and after the fall of the Soviet Union, record the hopes, fears, and triumphs of recent years. Essays and interviews with these trailblazers, part of the first post-Soviet generation to achieve positions of leadership in Russia, share stories of the very concrete actions they and others like them have taken to move Russia toward a more civilized, responsible, and vibrant society. Collectively, they paint the picture of a country borne up in its many travails by a stubborn will to survive and a capacity to adapt ingeniously and swiftly to changes, both welcome and unwelcome
