The Shameless Normalization of Far-Right Discourse

Goodbye to Russia
A Personal Reckoning from the Ruins of War
2024 || Paperback || Sarah Rainsford || Bloomsbury Publishing
A unique, personal insight into Vladimir Putin's Russia and the impact his rule had on his own people and on its neighbour Ukraine.
