Surviving autocracy [sound recording]

Gessen, Masha2020
Audiobooks
In the run-up to the 2016 election, Masha Gessen stood out from other journalists for the ability to convey the ominous significance of Donald Trump's speech and behavior, unprecedented in a national candidate. Within 48 hours of his victory, the essay 'Autocracy: Rules for Survival' had gone viral, and Gessen's coverage of his norm-smashing presidency became essential reading for a citizenry struggling to wrap their heads around the unimaginable. Thanks to the special perspective that is the legacy of a Soviet childhood and two decades covering the resurgence of totalitarianism in Russia, Gessen has a sixth sense for signs of autocracy - and the unique cross-cultural fluency to delineate its emergence to Americans. This book provides an indispensable overview of the calamitous trajectory of the past few years.
