My Front Line

This collection is like an explosive chronicle of the empire’s decline from within. The author is a journalist who fled Russia for Ukraine back in 2007, when the Putin regime was only beginning to gain momentum. His texts are prophetic: even then, he warned of what has now become a hellish reality. Although these essays were previously published—mainly on the informational and analytical portal Zaxid—they have not lost their relevance and have effectively become a document of the era. Russian aggression, moral corruption, an indifferent West, the future of Ukraine and Europe—all are explored in these writings, which read like predictions of disaster. It is a document of the epoch: war, fear, propaganda, and the staggering cost of resistance. Most importantly, these texts provide a clear and alarming vision of what Russia will look like in the near future.
