Join us for a virtual book discussion!
We will be discussing the nonfiction book, The Future is History: How Totalitarianism Reclaimed Russia by Masha Gessen. The award-winning Russian-American journalist and author of the best-selling The Man Without a Face traces how within the space of a generation, Russia has succumbed to a more virulent and resistant strain of autocracy as demonstrated by the experiences of four prototype individuals born at the once-presumed dawn of Russian democracy.
The ebook and eaudiobook is available on Digital Library of Illinois (Libby app on your device).
Registration will close two hours before the program begins and registrants will receive a link to join shortly thereafter.
