'Read this book' SVETLANA ALEXIVICH
Part memoir, part collection of Elena Kostyuchenko's fearless reporting, I Love Russia introduces us to places we've never seen and to people who've been systematically, brutally erased from view by Putin's regime. We enter secretive state-run facilities for disabled people, abandoned buildings haunted by suicide and violence, and a schoolyard marked by unacknowledged massacre. We meet village girls recruited into sex work, queer people in the outer provinces, and patients and doctors on a Ukrainian maternity ward.
The result is a singular, uncompromising, and profoundly humane portrait of a nation - and of an extraordinary woman who refuses to be silenced.

Autoren-Porträt von Elena Kostyuchenko
ELENA KOSTYUCHENKO was born in Yaroslavl, Russia, in 1987. She began working as a journalist when she was fourteen and spent seventeen years reporting for Novaya Gazeta, Russia's last major independent newspaper. In March 2022 she crossed into Ukraine to cover the horrors committed in Russia's name; Novaya Gazeta was shut down in the spring of 2022 in response to her reporting. Returning home now would likely mean prosecution and up to fifteen years in prison.
She is also the author of two books published in Russian, Unwanted on Probation and We Have to Live Here, and is the recipient of the European Press Prize, the Free Media Award, and the Paul Klebnikov Prize.
