Istoriia pro To, Kak Cheloveku v Rossii Stat` Svobodnym i Chto Emu za Eto Budet
[ Mikhail Khodorkovskii: A prisoner of silence : History about how to become a free person [in Russia] and what it will cost]
Moscow: Sekret Firmy, 2005 262 p pbk. 12 x 20 cm ISBN: 5988880061 Language: Russian
This is a documentary story of the Russian tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovskii, who was recently charged with several economic crimes and sentenced to 9 years in prison. The story is not complimentary but rather a reflection of the way the Russian active population came through the last two decades, their moral and intellectual evolution and their confrontation with a new political regime, that seems to try to reverse the political situation and withdraw major economic and personal freedoms. Valerii Paniushkin (b. 1969) is a correspondent for the newspaper Kommersant and columnist in the internet daily "Gazeta.ru". He received the award "Zolotoe pero Rossii" for this column. The author analyzes Khodorkovskii`s most recent letters from prison about the fate of the liberal movement in Russia. Paniushkin makes a visible effort to be objective and fair in this sad book.
