After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, a generation of young
Russians hoped for a better future of economic prosperity and
personal freedom. Yet three decades later Russia has invaded
Ukraine and is isolated from the Western world. What happened to
the dreams of the perestroika generation, and what does Russian
society think about Putin’s war and his grip on power? In the
latest episode of This Is Not a Drill, Gavin Esler talks to Russian
journalist and writer Irina Borogan, whose book Our Dear Friends in
Moscow: The Inside Story of A Broken Generation, co-authored with
Andrei Soldatov, tells the story of a group of young Russians torn
apart by the political shift in Russia. Buy Our Dear Friends in
