A year later she travelled to her home city of Yekaterinburg to see how ordinary Russians viewed the conflict - and whether the soul of her nation had truly been crushed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJana finds a booming city seemingly untouched by war. Reconnecting with old friends, she discovers people either happy to go along with a regime that has brought them stability, or else staying out of politics. Most painful of all, her once liberal father has channelled his personal disappointments into becoming a firm fan of Putin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the grand humane tradition of Russian dissident writers, Jana Bakunina grapples with a universal problem: what happens when a country you love becomes infected by nationalism? What hope is there when voices of conscience are silenced by dictatorship? And can Russians in exile still imagine a liberated future?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePRODUCT DETAILS : \u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eISBN : 9780349136615 \u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eBY (AUTHOR) Bakunina, Jana \u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePUBLISHER : Little, Brown Book Group  \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePUBLICATION DATE : November 05, 2026 \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCOUNTRY OF PUBLICATION : United Kingdom \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIMPRINT : The Bridge Street Press \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLANGUAGE : English \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAGE : General \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003ePRODUCT FORM : Paperback \/ softback \u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003eDIMENSION : 198 mm x 126 mm \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePRODUCT CATEGORY :\u003cbr\u003e    \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bookazine-hong-kong.myshopify.com\/collections\/Biography-Literature-Literary-studies\"\u003eBiography, Literature \u0026amp; Literary studies\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Bakunina, Jana","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50178624684309,"sku":"9780349136615","price":182.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/7087\/3174\/files\/9780349136615.jpg?v=1789547124","url":"https:\/\/bookazine.com.hk\/products\/the-good-russian-in-search-of-a-nations-soul-1","provider":"Bookazine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
