In the Ruins of an Empire: We Who Could Make Russia Great Were Trampled into the Ground Again (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798241204769)

In the span of just one generation, Russia underwent six distinct phases of its history: the harrowing conflict between Stalin's fascist USSR and Hitler's fascism, the brief period of Khrushchev's Thaw, the era of Brezhnev's stagnation amidst the crumbling socialism, Gorbachev's democratic perestroika culminating in the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the post-Soviet Russia transitioning into Putin's fascist dictatorship.

Through the life of Igor Kokarev, we witness how his inner world evolved alongside these changing eras. His journey from being a Soviet citizen devoted to socialist ideals to becoming an active liberal democrat labeled as a "foreign agent" during Putin's oppressive regime is a remarkable narrative, intricately intertwined with the nation's history.
