From the steppes of Kazakhstan, the first human, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, launches into space. At that moment, another countdown begins. How can a single generation, just three decades, separate the USSR’s crowning achievement from the collapse of the Soviet empire? More than a history lesson, this book is a testament to the enduring fight for truth and freedom. In pursuit of the real story, renowned Kremlin opponent Mikhail Zygar gathers remarkably candid statements from hundreds of key figures: the last first secretaries and first presidents of the post-Soviet republics, leaders of independence movements, Western politicians and diplomats, and Mikhail Gorbachev himself, along with scientists, authors, film directors, aspiring rock stars, and ordinary people who briefly became accidental protagonists of history. The end of the USSR set the stage for today’s vengeful return.
