The Future Is History: How Totalitarianism Reclaimed Russia

★ Helen Bernstein Book Award ★ National Book Award for Non-Fiction Longlist

The Future Is History examines how Totalitarianism Reclaimed Russia, combining Masha Gessen's clear narrative with the perspective of a historical account. By tracing causes alongside consequences, the narrative gives readers both a grounded account and a route into the connected fields of history and political science. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. The Future Is History leaves readers with key context and a clear view of the human stakes involved.
