Andrei Soldatov: RUSSIA'S LOST GENERATION

Cathrin Kahlweit in conversation with Andrei Soldatov





RUSSIA’S LOST GENERATION


 


Andrei Soldatov is one of the most renowned Russian journalists.
Together with his partner Irina Borogan he focuses on security
politics and Russia’s secret services; they founded the website
agentura.ru and excel in investigative journalism.  But the
regime does not forgive publications like „The Red Web“, „The New
Nobility“ or „The Compatriots“ about the heritage of the KGB and
the complete takeover of the country by the FSB: The couple had
to flee to London, where they live in exile.


For their new book “Our Dear Friends in Moscow: The Inside Story
of a Broken Generation” they asked former colleagues, reporters
and friends about their decision to stay in Moscow and to serve
the current regime. ThesE answers tell of submission, fear,
compromises and convictions.
